Milton Community Hall

Residents are encouraged to prepare to be self sufficient for 72 hours (run water, charge electronics, have food that can easily be prepared).
Widespread power outages are likely.

Fred Smith at Fred's Auto at 1049 Rustico Road has a generator at his shop and if people are in need of a warm dry spot to be, he has invited anyone to drop in. He can be reached at 902-626-7973.

It is likely that the Milton Community Hall will be opened on Sunday morning if there are power outages, as it has a generator. People are welcome to use the kitchen and washroom facilities, get water, charge electronics, and generally hang out! The hall phone number is 902-566-3154. Emergency access can be arranged if necessary - contact Shari -902-213-0597 or Hal 902-638-3292.

Preference will be given to handmade craft/food items. Registration for “gift” items opens on October 1 and preference in that category will be given to residents. Food vendors must follow provincial regulations. Your registration reserves a table and its space. Please be aware of the amount of space you have paid for and plan to use only your allotted space. For those not using tables, your rental space will be equivalent to that of a table. There is very limited space between tables. FIRE REGULATIONS require that all fire exits and doorways not be blocked and there must always be a clear passageway between tables. You may wish to bring an extension cord or power bar if you requested power. Please use table covers to enhance your table.

Vendor setup time: Friday, November 29 from 3 -8 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. Although we will do everything possible to protect your items, we cannot be held responsible for them if left at the hall overnight.

On August 24, you can dance your socks off at the Milton Community Hall from 8-11 PM. Great music will be provided by Phase II and Friends, a seven piece group featuring the voices of Keila Glydon, Jeanie Campbell and Gerry Hickey, backed up by four very fine musicians with Ed Young on drums, John McGarry on bass, Pat King on keys and sax and Blaine Murphy on lead guitar. Phase II began in 1990 and has been going strong without a break ever since. The band boasts a huge repertoire of songs, but still has a main focus of providing a great mix of dance music which includes fifties and sixties rock n' roll, but also much more.  Says Gerry Hickey, front man for the band, we have never wanted to limit ourselves to one style, simply because a lot of great music was written after the sixties. Songs like Footloose, Boot Scootin Boogie, Cadillac Ranch and the music of Abba are great to dance to, but were not performed until the seventies and eighties.

Phase II and Friends are always happy to accommodate the audience , so if you have favourites, don't hesitate to ask.

Doors open at 7:30 with dancing beginning at 8 sharp.

Bar services available.

We hope to see you there!
