Savour September

1. Under Paris Skies

Edith Piaf – Paris’ wartime ‘Little Sparrow’ – endured a tragic life, but brought audiences sublime, heartrending performances. Re-live her passion with Edie Dupont at the Max on September 22.

2. Edie & The Cruisers

This first-time Townsite show n’ shine pairs classic cars with the diner named for the elegant, late Edie Rae. Feel the passing of a gloriously beautiful era in the company of those skilled in keeping the aesthetics alive on September 14.

3. Fall Fair

We’re enjoying a food-growing revival here in Powell River, but the Fall Fair is a great time to reflect on how many skills were nearly lost: growing, preserving, knitting, quilting and much more (like thrift) we’ll need to survive the next century.

4. Equinox Events

Earth-based spirituality was pushed out of the mainstream for generations. Re-connect to the earth the weekend of September 21 with Qigong, a workshop on shamanism, and an aural Crystal Journey. Or just stare at the changing sky.

5. Gift of the Letterpress

Join Stuart Isto at the Library September 27 or 28 to make posters using a technology developed by Gutenberg and in use for more than 500 years. The tactile, sensory design process is exotic and delicious compared to InDesign. Trust me on this. – PW
