works, talents and gifts all in one location. In affiliation with the Band Association the sale included a variety of local natural handmade crafts, baked goods and art.  The day was well attended by the public and many spoke of how such an event should be repeated occasionally in order to promote local artisans.
Tickets were sold on a gift basket the contents of which were donated by each of the participating vendors. The draw for this basket was won by Kierstan Boyce of Dartmouth ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 09 February 2019 FUN NIGHT AT THE HALL  (Carl Cameron started the evening off with some rainy day music) Friday night had The Hall filled with the sounds of music and laughter once again as the Open Mic rolled out with a tremendous variety of music. For two and a half hours the crowd was singing along, tapping their toes and clapping their hands as many old familiar favourite tunes rang in the rafters.  (Marg performed some soul searching songs which touched everyone present) Open Mics at The Hall have become a regular feature of the winter entertainment in the county and the Band Association wishes to thank all of the entertainers who give so generously of their time and talent to support this ongoing fundraiser for The Hall, which assist in the completion of so many projects in the ongoing restoration of this iconic structure and helping make it a growing entertainment and community meeting center.  (Sandy and Garnet almost gave the audience the most moving moment of the evening) The next Open Mic will be held on February 22nd. We hope to see you all there. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 04 February 2019 WORKSHOPS AT THE HALL ANNOUNCED  The Parrsboro Band Association is excited to announce a new line-up of workshops taking place during 2019.

For over three hours the audience cheered, laughed, applauded and sang along to a great range of music from country to rock, blues to folk.  (Our newest, youngest and by far the cutest entertainer of the night won the hearts of everyone present) Open Mic at The Hall has become a favourite source of entertainment and has helped to support the continued restoration of The Hall. Many, many thanks go out to all our supporters and especially to the entertainers who give so generously of their time and talent.
