Canada Days!!

Canada Day in Lockeport takes a very long time - in fact it covers about a week and a half.

Lockeport is the Canada Day centre for this part of Nova Scotia and boy do we have events. Officially, the celebration started last Friday (the 20th) although so far the events have been pretty low key. However the decorations are up and tickets for assorted things are selling like hot cakes.

Tonight is a community variety show at the high school from which a king and queen (of what I'm not sure - maybe the parade) will be chosen. We're going to go for the first time.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the 1st of 7 musical performances - the nickname for Canada Day celebrations is LOCKEPORT ROCKS. The first show will be country but the rest are rock, blues and jazz, of course Sunday's will be Christian Rock since we are firmly in the middle of God's country here. Friday evening there are 2 - an early youth concert and at 10:00PM the Hupman Brothers, our favourite local (now out of Wolfville) blues and jazz band. I hope I can stay up that late.
