The beaches are filling with clammers, as low tide approaches and dusk falls on Saturday.

Chloe Foster (Heidi), Michael Barbero (Grandfather) and Adam Cooper (Peter) sing with gusto during Friday night’s “Heidi” performance.

At the end of the night, the cast joins the crowd that filled the Lions Club to applaud Chloe for a terrific performance. One more show, tonight at 7.

Tickets are $5 for adults, $2 for students. Children under 5 free. Tickets available at the Visitor Center. Call 581-7403 for more info.

IGA is hosting a “Holiday Cheese Bazaar” today from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free tastings of “delicacies from around the world.” It’s also a bit of a celebration, as IGA was recently named Business of the Quarter by the Ambassador’s Committee.

but I like it:

Actually, it’s a high school band called Distorted Whispers, entertaining at a Halloween night post-game party at the Connection.

“Ladies Night” at ACE Hardware was a huge hit on a rainy Wednesday evening. Those who waited in a nightclub-style line were treated to complimentary wine, champagne, cheeses, music . . . and, my informant tells me, a chocolate fountain. The “DO NOT ENTER” sign on this night was for males, as the only guys around were the tuxedo-clad employees, holding umbrellas to escort ladies from their cars. 

Don’t even bother reading this, guys, you are positively not invited . . . It’s ”Ladies Night” at ACE Hardware this evening, beginning at 6 p.m.  ”Those of you that attended last year will remember that a fabulous time was had by all that attended,” says Leslie Reedy, from the Chamber of Commerce. No shopping is permitted during the gal-a (get it?), “just food, drink, lots of prizes and a great time.” 

The all-female social is free. (Your intrepid reporter has been cleared to make a brief appearance for a photo “behind enemy lines.”)
