The Fanny Bay Hall will be humming with three events during the next three months.
Des Kennedy will present a slide show and lecture on Some Eminent English Gardens, in Sissinhurst, Great Dixter, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Kennedy said this would probably be the last time he has a slide show in this format of his travels on March 21 at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30.
Tickets cost $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Tickets are available at Weinberg's Good Foods beside the Buckley Bay Seafood Shop, under the Petrocan at Buckley Bay or from Carla Hope at 250-335-3282.
Kennedy's current book will be for sale at this event.
Light refreshments from Just Like Mom's will be available for sale along with tea and fresh roasted ground coffee from Royston Coffee Roasters.

The Marc Atkinson Trio plays April 28.
You may have heard Marc playing at the Blues Odyssey at the Sid Williams Theatre in 2010 or in other venues such as Vancouver Island MusicFest.
If you loved the music in the movie Chocolat, in which Johnny Depp played gypsy guitar a la Django Reinhardt, (the night we served salade mimosa, coq au vin et mousse au chocolat at one of our dinner and a movie nights), you will love Marc's music.
He is a fantastic guitarist and his trio will get the joint jumping (actually it isn't a dance but we will have fun). If you visit his website you can hear samples of his albums.
Tickets will be available soon and are $17 in advance and $20 at the door. Light refreshments will be available for sale at this concert.

A Mothers Day fashion show and tea happens May 13.
Doors open at 12:30 and tea starts at 1 with the fashion show commencing at 1:30. Linda Hargreaves will feature her fashions from the 1890s to 1970, with a special selection of evening gowns from 1930, including shoes, hats and furs.
Tickets cost $12 in advance or $15 at the door. The refreshments are included in the price of the event and will be a selection of treats from Just Like Mom's Bakery as well as some savoury creations.
The hall is a busy place and has all sorts of exercise classes, Easter egg hunts, Halloween and Christmas parties for the kiddies, softball in summer and Dinner and A Movie.
For example, on May 12 the Baynes Sound Garden Club is having its annual plant sale.
There are many other events at the Fanny Bay Hall this year. Check the Fanny Bay Hall website, or the Fanny Bay Flyer for more events.
