Organizers of Dawson's Game recall how over the past few years Minden came together as a community to support Dawson in his fight. They watched as this brave boy underwent many tests and procedures, always with a smile on his face. You couldn't miss how special this boy was. "Dawson's Game" is named not only in his memory, but because hockey was his game. He attended games whenever the opportunity arose and he was well enough to go. Come out and cheer on our local firefighters and policemen and celebrate Dawson's Game. The puck drops at 7 p.m. There will be a 50/50 draw as well as a "chuck-a-puck" competition during intermission. The Winterfest Minden Chili competition runs from 3-6pm, and the Minden Figure Skating Club is putting on a short recital from 5:30-6:30pm. Come for the chili ($5/person, $15/family) and to watch our local skaters, and then enjoy a great hockey game.

Sylvia Location: Northern Lights Performing Arts Pavilion, Haliburton High School
Time: 8pm Greg returns to his Upper West Side apartment in the late afternoon accompanied by Sylvia, a beautiful, frisky young blonde he has just picked up in the park. He worries about how Kate, his wife, is going to respond to Sylvia, a dog he found—or perhaps she has found him. Dramatic literature is stuffed with memorable love scenes, but none is as immediately delicious and dizzy as the one that begins the redeeming affair in A.R. Gurney’s comedy, Sylvia. Sylvia offers Greg an escape from the frustrations of his job and the unknowns of middle age. To Kate, Sylvia becomes a rival for affection. The marriage is put in serious jeopardy until, after a series of priceless and touching complications, Greg and Kate learn to compromise, and Sylvia becomes a valued part of their lives. This hilarious romantic triangle is for anyone who has ever owned a dog, loved a dog, and even those who don’t believe that a dog is man’s best friend. (Some language may not be suitable for younger audience members.) Opens July 19 for eight performances. Web: www.highlandssummerfestival.on.ca Box office: 705-457-9933 July 26,27

Though Don is usually cast in dramatic roles, he has made thousands laugh with his alter ego characters–especially Charlie Farquharson. Charlie was first introduced to Canadians in 1952 at The Spring Thaw - a revue in which Don has been involved since its creation. He later appeared on the US comedy show Hee Haw. Don will present two performances featuring his wit and wisdom as well as a visit from Charlie. Don will be joined by Claudette and pianist David Warrack for these performances. July 26 and 27 only.

Location: Your Home
Raising awareness of the connection between your children’s health and our environment. Book a casual in home video showing for your friends. This is not a sales event. As a courtesy to attendees this is a no scent event (includes perfumes, personal care and laundry scents). In Toxic Trespass, intrepid filmmaker Barri Cohen launches an investigation into the effects of the chemical soup around us. She starts with her 10-year-old daughter, whose blood carries carcinogens like benzene and the long-banned DDT. Then, Cohen heads out to Windsor and Sarnia: Canadian toxic hotspots, with startling clusters of deadly diseases. The filmmaker journeys into toxic nightmares all too common in industrialized countries. She meets passionate activists working for positive change, along with doctors and scientists who see evidence of links between environmental pollution and health problems. And she learns how quickly barriers can go up sometimes, when authorities are questioned about the connection between toxins and serious health problems. This film is essential viewing for anyone concerned about the effects of pollutants on our – and our children’s – very DNA. Visit website Phone: 705-455-9456 Brushstrokes - Artists' Paint-Out
