A fundraiser is being held next month to help support the creation of an off-leash dog park in Dresden.
The Rotary Club of Dresden has partnered with the Dresden Dog Park Committee to present “Blues and Books” – an entertaining evening with one of Canada’s top roots and blues musicians, Rick Fines, and short story writer John Gardiner.
Canadian roots music vet Rick Fines has had a long and storied career as one of the country’s hardest working musicians. He has toured across Canada countless times solo, as a duo or with a full band and has recorded over 14 albums and has been a guest on many others.
Gardiner’s work has often been compared to iconic author Alice Munro because of its smalltown flavour and it has appeared alongside stories by D.H. Lawrence, Margaret Atwood and Amy Tan.
Blues and Books, featuring Fines and Gardiner, will be presented at The Wheelhouse in Dresden on Saturday, October 14. Doors open at 7:00 pm.
Tickets ($30 each) will be available at Union Block Bakery, Kimberly’s One of a Kind, McBrayne’s Feeds and Needs, from Dresden Rotarians and Dresden Dog Park Committee Members.
