September 6 - 11

Greetings to another week of fun and sun in Campbell River!  The sun keeps shining and that's OK with us; there's no better place to be than here in September - one my personal favourite months of the year.  It's a little dry out there so be careful out there - we know one day the rains will come but until they do it crispy in the forests.

Our week kicks off with 'Perry Johnson" at Spirit Square Tuesday from 11:30am to 1pm.  Bring your lunch, sunscreen and sunglasses - it's looking to be a beautiful day.

Wednesday at Serious Coffee attend Jam Night at 6:30pm, and on Saturday bring the whole family down for a Seriousl-ly Fun Tour de Rock Fundraiser from 11-3pm.

Campbell River Garden Club is having their first get together of season Wednesday, Sept. 7 at the Baptist Church - contact dedmunck@yahoo.com or call 250-923-0578 for more info.

Thursday Salmon Farm Tours take off from Discovery Launch Water Taxi at 9am.  The cost for this educational tour is about 4 ½ hours long for $50 and includes lunch.  Contact 250-286-1636 x 224 for reservations and more info.  These tours are scheduled to depart until September 16th.

If you haven't checked out the Museum at Campbell River yet - then make some time for this world class digital art exhibit.  The Museum is open everyday from 10-5pm until September 30th so there's lots of time to drop in!
