COFFEE HOUSE

photo of performers at the 2006 Coffee HouseThe Coffee House for 2006 was a huge success. We had 29 performers and an audience of about 275. The evening started at 7:00pm sharp and three sets of great entertainment took us to 11:45pm. There is an enormous amount of talent for such a small community and we are sure that we have only showcased a small number. It was nice to see so many step forward to entertain us. And the audience was most appreciative. The purpose of the Coffee House each year is so that adults have a place to display their talent. photo of performers at the 2006 Coffee HouseChildren get many chances to cultivate their talents, but adults are limited. Over the last six years it has become more and more popular and has turned into quite an evening to look forward to.

We strive to do the best that we can and not charge admission and so far with the generosity of donations from local businesses and the hard work and commitment of the students at the Centre and others in the community, we have been able to do just that. We would like to thank those that advertised in our program.
