effort to highlight new items of historical significance as often as possible to ensure there is always something “new” for visitors to enjoy. On Saturday evening, the Canadian Transportation Museum hosted a Valentine’s Day cabaret and buffet dinner event. After the dinner dishes
were cleared, several singers involved with the Windsor Light Music Theatre performed a cabaret show loaded with Broadway show tunes. The Museum hosted a similar event in the fall. The response went over so well that the cabaret singers of the Windsor Light Music Theatre were invited back for a
Valentine’s Day dinner event. “They did a phenomenal job when they performed in the fall,” Canadian Transportation Museum & Heritage Village’s Manager and Curator Lisa Wacheski said. “Everyone wanted them to come back.” Before the lights dimmed, signaling the
