Here is the long anticipated announcement of our special events, guided tours, as well as our guest of honor and the entertainment for the Opening reception right after the AGM on Sunday the 25th of June, from 2-5pm.
2:15 Bob Doucet. With original songs from his newly released CD on guitar and squeezebox. Known for his solo gigs at the local pubs and coffee houses, or with Bowen’s Best Dressed Bluegrass Band, The Lawn Dogs, or as the even better dressed squire of The Black Sheep Morris Dancers.
3:15 The Chillbillies. From their humble beginnings as eager participants at Nimblefingers Music Camp, this group of long time friends came together through their shared love of acoustic music of all kinds, especially fun and upbeat tunes and tight harmony singing. The Chillbillies are Liz Watson (bass), Lorraine Ashdown (guitar), Dyan Spear (mandolin), and Susan Munro (fiddle and ukulele).
4:15 The Black Sheep Morris Dancers have been a part of the cultural life of Bowen Island since 2001! The Group dances around Vancouver, the Okanagan, the UK, and the USA and in their own words huge fun and a great way to see the world. The winner’s of our Bowen Island song contest will be announced right after the Black Sheep.
We are incredibly thrilled that our guest of honor will be Rita Greenlaw. She is known for her participation in the Christmas Hamper and the coordination of the Bowfest parade, but she left her strongest mark as organizer for the most incredible Haunted Houses known even on the mainland and her move off the island left a gap that is still felt today.
