Trout Lake Outdoor Summer Concerts

9 Jul

The popular Trout Lake Outdoor Summer Concert Series is back for another year starting Wednesday, July 10th.  The free outdoor summer concerts take place behind Trout Lake Community Centre, 3360 Victoria Drive, near the children’s playground and tennis courts.  This is an annual event hosted by the Trout Lake Community Centre with concerts taking place every Wednesday evening throughout the summer rain or shine. If it rains, concerts go indoors to the Grandview Room. We’ve had the opportunity to take in some of the concerts on a nice summer evening and we have to say, it is a pretty perfect way to spend an evening. Bring a blanket, your friends, family, kids or the dog or all of the above and a picnic and you are set.  If you aren’t able to organize a picnic, you can grab some food at the Carousel Café.  We have set out the musical line up for this summer below.  Each evening kicks off at 6:30 pm.  Dancing is encouraged.

For those that love the lantern processions around Trout Lake, take note. On the very last concert of the summer, August 21st there will be a lantern procession around the lake led by The Carnival Band from 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Be sure to take in this great summer event.

From Grandma With Love – Children’s Book Launch December 18 At Trout Lake Community Centre

10 Dec

Lately we’ve been coming across some amazing young people in our community like Bella Neville Cruz. Bella is 5 years old and has written a children’s book titled From Grandma With Love.  The premise is a 5 year old child seeking the love and approval of her Grandmother even when she misbehaves.  It is also about the reassurance and unconditional love from Grandma to the child.  How many people dream of writing a book? Then along comes Bella at 5 years of age, life goal of many already checked off the bucket list. Talk about inspiring.

On Saturday, December 18th, Bella and her family invite you to their book launch happening in the Grandview Room at Trout Lake Community Centre from 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm.  The book will be available for sale in English and Spanish in softcover for $12 and in hardcover in English for $22. We invite you to stop by and support and meet this budding author.  You can also follow them on Instagram @bellaandmombooks. If you can’t make the in person launch, books are also available on Amazon.
