Lynda Lynn was born in Bracebridge, as were five generations of her ancestors who first arrived in the 1880s because of the Canadian land grants. “This show represents contemporary scenes from around town along with scenes from earlier times. “I hope that everyone who has had the good fortune of growing up in a small town will recollect their own upbringing and enjoy the memories. And for those who didn’t have that experience, catch a glimpse of a time treasured.”

Public Reception: Saturday, November 17 between 1pm and 4pm.

Bring your families and friends join us for an evening of fun!

When four friends get together for movie night, they tell each other about their day. Apparently, they have been through a lot! Or have they? They one-up each other with their stories and take us on their adventures with pet gorillas, ninjas, robots, and pirates; but, could it be that they’re not giving 100% honest accounts of the afternoon? Just what are they trying to cover up?

Don’t miss this year’s production – great for the whole family!

On his first solo full-length album, compass, singer/songwriter Conor Gains proves himself deeply devoted to making uncompromisingly soulful music that transcends all genres. Gains’ label debut marks the follow-up to the self-released Sophomore album “Run Away With the Night”, which sparked interest in the young artist’s music. In 2016 Gains’ album closing song “Leave It On the Line” won the cobalt prize at the Maple Blues Awards. This national prize is designed to highlight innovation and creativity in songwriting. This is the impression one gets while listening to the Conor Gains band. The deep respect of roots, jazz and blues music paired with the soulful, adventurous exploration of contemporary music gives Gains’ songs an air of familiarity while listening to something completely unique and transcendental.
