Always lots of activities to do with your family
By Mark Schadenberg
There are a slew of family
activities on the horizon over the next few weeks.
Woodstock Fair
If you love the Beach Boys
– the place to be is the Woodstock Fairgrounds on Saturday, Aug
23rd with Endless Summer performing in the Grandstand at
7:30 p.m. One of the top cover bands on the circuit, Endless Summer
will transform you back to the beach music of California with hits of
yesteryear like California Girls, Fun Fun Fun, Help Me Rhonda, Little
Deuce Coupe, and I would expect to also hear Kokomo from 1988.
The Woodstock Fair is more
than just a tradition locally – it's part of the fabric of this
community with midway rides, demolition derby (1 p.m. on Sunday),
various children's entertainment (including Princess Party at 2 p.m.
on Saturday featuring Frozen and Sleeping Beauty characters)
productions, Holstein, horse and poultry shows, a few exhibits, and a
motorcycle stunt show on Thursday night at 7:30.
Admission for adults is
just $10, and by reading the event programs I believe all-day ride
passes can be purchased for any day at $25.
Western Fair
Sept. 5 – 14 – The
place to be is across the street from London's Rogers TV studios.
No matter your favourite
genre – the music will be there at the Western Fair and on a free
concert stage. Of the full list (see LFP links), Glass Tiger
(www.glasstiger.ca)
would be my top choice. The Glass Tiger era included Top 10 hits in
the U.S. Such as Someday and Don't Forget Me, but their string of
hits with lead vocals by Alan Frew would also feature: You're What I
Look For, I'm Still Searching, Diamond Sun, My Song, My Town, Thin
Red Line, and the big Frew solo charter So Blind
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQLrd2sQUd4).
Glass Tiger appears on Sept. 12 at 8 p.m.
The Sheepdogs open the lineup on Sept
5.
Other well-known recording artists
include: George Canyon, Brett Kissel, Warrant, The Trews, Shad,
Alyssa Reid, Virginia To Vegas, and Cody Simpson.
There's lots of info about admission
prices and other attractions on the links or the Western Fair
website, which I have written about previously with its 4-pad ice
complex, harness racing, equestrian competitions, casino, Yuk Yuk's comedy, more comedy with a
monthly roller derby and the list never ends. . . . and Flat Track
motorcycle racing this Saturday, Aug 23, which is the same series at
the Woodstock Half Mile back on Aug. 2.
