TRIVIA NIGHT IN PARIS

Continued from page 18

Speaking of seasons...

Wednesday evening was the first of many fundraising events by and for the Paris Performers’ Theatre: a trivia night hosted, at The Paris Pub, by The Spin-ster to raise funds for their 2024 theatrics and theatrical season. The event was sold out almost a week in advance and all the attendees brought great energy and a healthy dose of competitive edge.

The amazing staff at The Paris Pub worked their butts off and made the entire evening seamless while The Spin-ster created a game that was both challenging and charming; extra love to The Paris Pub staff who donated their tips and time to support this fundraiser. It was great to see so much support for this longstanding community group! Make sure you keep an eye on Paris Performers’Theatre as they work hard to build back strong, this long standing institution, after facing tricky times. With a refreshed roster of board members and refocused energies, their 2024 will be all about fundraising and raising the profile of the company in Paris, Brant and beyond!

This weekend is another jam packed one: Christmas in Paris is running all weekend at the Paris Fairgrounds, Belonging Brant’s Grand Scheme Photographer Scavenger Hunt is running all month, virtually, and invites Brant, Brantford and Six Nations shutterbugs to snap and post their favourite scenes from our sensational small townsperfect weather for it this weekend - or head to Le Petit Marché on Saturday evening for an intimate event with live, acoustic music as musician Port Hope launches another solo album. Stay warm and enjoy your weekend Paris people!

Referred to as the silent killer, Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, tasteless gas that can kill. Over 65% of CO-related injuries and deaths in Ontario occur in the home, and most if not all deaths are preventable.

Keep your family safe by installing and testing your CO alarms today!
