Ghost Stories ~ Cheryl MacDonald

Captain Al Robinson and Cheryl MacDonald
Museum curators: Dana and Anne with Captain Al and writer Cheryl MacDonald. As the sun sinks and night falls, guests are captive to scary, gruesome tales of hauntings and murder.

If not in your own backyard, be assured it took place in your neighbour's. Spine-tingling stories of murder, grave-robberies, drownings ~ not to mention the hangings and demonic dogs, buried treasures and ghostly native warriors. Cheryl MacDonald, well-known author and historian, will convince both the curious and the cynic.

Everyone loves a ghost story! Two August boat trips along the Grand River are SOLD OUT. Haldimand Museums present an evening of story-telling at Big Creek Boat Farm, Caledonia. As the sun sinks and darkness falls, sixty or so guests are subjected to scary, gruesome tales of haunted sites allegedly in the Haldimand and Norfolk area.
Look around. Be aware... Contact your museum curator or Cheryl to inquire about future cruises.

William Bart ~ Half of Me


William Bart is a career graphic illustrator/designer/artist. Along the way, he added author and photographer!
His first book, Wibby the Peanut Butter Rat, is an epic tale of cat and mouse ~ or rather rat. Wibby and his antagonist, Blink, prey on the same peanut-butter jar in a kitchen battleground.
William will be at The Neat Little Bookshop to talk about his latest book, Half of Me.
Thursday, August 26, 1:30 p.m. Mark it on your calendar. The coffee pot is always on...
