A
Gypsy New Year’s Eve
A DONATION WILL BE MADE TO THE “ SAVE THE RICHMOND STREET FOREST
FUND”, (a Carolinian forest near Brock University), FOR EACH GIFT
CERTIFICATE PURCHASED.
The full
moon will lend his beauty to our Gypsy New Year’s Eve Celebration.
Snuggly and warm, we will travel through meadow and forest by the light
of the Man in the Moon, listening to the sleigh bells jingling on the
beautiful toffee coloured Belgian workhorses. John Colyn, the owner of
this beautiful farm, will guide his horses as he regales us with his jokes
and wonderful sense of humour. The children can take turns sitting by
John and holding the reigns themselves, driving the team of horses, a
memory they will never forget.
Back at the barn we will tumble into the toasty cabin for cookies, hot
chocolate and home-made soup. Gentle Celtic music will float through the
air. Next we make our way to the ground-floor haymow in the corner of
the heated barn, and cuddle into the straw with our buffalo blankets.
The lights dim, and out of the shadows glide our very special storyteller,
Pauline Grondin, guided by her lantern which she will set down by the
horse’s stalls. Tales will be woven and spun.
After the storytelling a trio of Gypsy music afficionados will fill the
barn with strains of music to make your feet do what dancing feet are
meant to do. Meet Beth Bartley of Vox Violins fame, (heard on CBC radio),
as she joins her talented friends making eclectic romantic music in this
very special time and place on Earth. An exotic buffet compliments of
the Spice of Life will appeal to children and adults alike with Sue Churrey’s
favourites, lovingly made just for us on this moonlighted enchanted New
Year’s Eve.
Bring your grandma, your children and a special friend to gather in this
country hamlet, for a safe and memorable country Gypsy New Year’s
Celebration.
