BULWER IRISH NIGHT Friday evening we took a drive out to the Bulwer Community Center to attend their Irish Night. The fun all started at 7 p.m. with emcee for the night Serena Winkle welcoming all to their night. The hall filled fast with all awaiting the music of Jan Graham, Wayne Nutbrown, David McBurney, Don Atkinson, The Drew Family, Terry Howell, and the singing of Tami Spires, Hannah Daugherty, Kendra Parnell, Darlene Kerr, Pierre, Stuart McKelvey and friends. Ann Brothel told an old Irish tale like only Ann can. Grant Taylor even got up and sang a few songs. The Bulwer Community Center was a buzz with Irish that evening. The party finished a bit after 10 and all headed home. –Corey Bellam “LES ROCK STARS” IN LENNOXVILLE Sunday we stopped in at the Lennoxville Curling Club to support the Junior Girls Curling team “Les Rock Stars.” This curling team represented Quebec at the Women Junior Curling Nationals 2016. This team will be heading to Fredricton, New Brunswick, in April to compete in the Junior Grand Slam and are hoping to bring medals back with them. This group of young ladies are certainly taking Junior Curling to new heights with their skill out on the ice and winning smiles. –Corey Bellam NAVY BAND NORTHEAST COMING TO GORHAM Navy Band Northeast’s Popular Music Group, Rhode Island Sound, will be performing a free concert for the public on Thursday, April 7 at 7 p.m. The band will be performing at the Medallion Opera House, Gorham Town Hall, which is located at 20 Park Street in Gorham.
