The lovely Harbour Gallery will now open Saturdays 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. as the summer season ends. I visited the gallery many times enjoying the warm wonderful vibe surrounded by masterpieces of all sizes and mediums created by our exceptionally talented local artists. I have treated myself to wonderful prints, cards to send (maybe) and delightful little sketch and notebooks. I always come away happy and inspired and with a wishlist for my next visit! Treat yourself and visit this treasure by the sea. The gallery artists extend a heartfelt thank you to all who came to the gallery this summer. It was a busy one!

Van Django returns! Pender Harbour Music Society brings back the outrageously popular gypsy jazz group to the School of Music Sunday, Sept. 25 at 2 p.m. Van Django’s performances are brimming with the music of Django Reinhardt delightfully woven with the creative, often humorous twisting of modern-day standards. Yes, I am a huge fan. Yes, I have my tickets and you should too! Tickets online $30 at penderharbourmusic.ca/concert-tickets/.
As apples ripen with the latest heat wave, remember Brickers Cidery, a lovely family operation and most enjoyable place to have a delicious cool cider and lunch welcomes your surplus harvest.
Remember to pick all your ripening fruit as the bears are out and hungry.
School is back and the kids are excited and full of energy. Please drive slowly, cautiously. Be safe everyone. Have a great first week of September!
