Join us in welcoming Peter Smith, Director of the Center for Rural Activity. “A CELEBRATION OF COMMUNITY” (This is what Peter has been involved with in 2025. He will have much to share with us.)
“2025 is the year we celebrate community in a unique and transformative way. We bring people together from along the Grand River and across her watershed to tell stories, sing songs, learn and share about their home, and fall in love all over again.
In AUGUST of this year The Voice of the River: The Grand River Community Play will start at the headwaters of the Grand in Dundalk and we will work our way down the River to the mouth at Lake Erie stopping in natural settings, villages and towns as we go. This is an all-inclusive event – anyone can participate in whatever manner they are comfortable – and the communities where the production will be presented will be visited in the time between now and August in story circles, for workshops in everything from building a unique community large puppet, costumes, stitching unique story-telling quilt squares, building set pieces, making props, maybe some will learn stilt walking, and all manner of performance in acting and singing with plenty of Grand River storytelling.”
Time: Refreshments begin at 6:15 PM, a brief welcome and Presentation begins at 6:45 PM
