Morning Troops!

So glad we all emerged from Gonzalo without any serious injuries – what a scary night though!  I for one am really looking forward to a storm-free weekend.  Here’s the latest line-up of what’s happening in Bermuda:

Try your creative hand at pumpkin carving and see if you can win a prize.

The deadline for the Youth Library’s Pumpkin Carving Competition is on Wednesday, October 22nd, with judging the following day.

Categories are for children aged 10 to 18 years and for families of children aged to and under with the support of an adult. Prizes will be given for the funniest, scariest and most creative pumpkin.

Entry forms can be picked up from the library.

For more information, contact 295-0487.

Hi Kids!

Well, I guess the short version of this post would have been, “Everything is cancelled, just stay at home”.  This will come as no surprise but you’ll see a lot of cancellations and postponements below.  Since we don’t yet know what the extent of the damage from Hurricane Gonzalo is going to be, please be sure to check with event organisers before heading to anything listed for the next week or two.

Hopefully, you will receive a post next week but this will depend greatly on power outages and internet connection – fingers crossed!  Stay safe, Bermuda – look after each other and see you on the other side!

Discovery Wines present a Roots, Rock Reggae event featuring Geoffrey Markell from Charles Smith Wines and the 3 Kings Band on Thursday, October 16th.  **UPDATE:  This will now be on Thursday, November 20th due to Hurricane Gonzalo**

Charles + Chewstick will run from 6pm until 8pm, including a taste of four different Charles Smith Wines will be served alongside some cheeses. Come on out for a fun evening of great wine, great music and great food!

The cost is $30 per person and reservations are required.

For more information, or to make a reservation, contact 296-9463 or events@discoverywines.bm.

Morning Kids!
