The Community of Miltonvale Park is pleased to present Cynthia MacLeod and Gordon Belsher in the Friday, September 5th show of their year-long series – 2014 Minutes of Story and Song. The performance starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Milton Community Hall and admission is $10. A light lunch is included.

Cynthia MacLeod is one of Prince Edward Island's finest ambassadors of traditional music, carving a distinct style of fiddling that embraces both her local roots and her ancestral connection to the Scottish highlands. Cynthia has spent more than 15 years on stages on PEI, across Canada, into the US, and as far abroad as Cuba and Japan, astounding audiences with her entertainingly unique performance style.

Cynthia's accomplished recording career began in 2002, with the release of her debut album "Head Over Heels" at the age of 16. The album received praise from audiences, peers and industry members, and was subsequently voted Album of the Year at the following Music PEI Awards. Since then, Cynthia has released a total of four studio albums, garnering regional awards and nominations along the way. Her cheerful, charismatic personality is exuded in her playing, and her natural way with audiences of any size turns strangers into instant fans. Together with the various musicians that she works with, Cynthia has proven that her own brand of traditional music is alive, invigorating, and sought around the globe.

Based in Prince Edward Island on Canada's east coast, Gordon Belsher has been entertaining audiences in Canada and around the world for more than 30 years performing at concerts, ceilidhs, conventions, and pubs. As accompanist and featured vocalist with Prince Edward Island fiddlers Richard Wood and Cynthia MacLeod, Gordon has toured extensively across Canada, in the U.S., the U.K., Europe, Japan and Australia. His solo CD Passed Presence, Past & Present won "Roots Traditional Recording of the Year" at the MUSIC PEI Awards in 2013.

Tickets for this show will be available at the door, or to reserve your tickets, contact Miltonvale Park at (902) 368-3090 or visit miltonvalepark.com. This show is supported by the PEI 2014 Fund. The Milton Community Hall is located at 7 New Glasgow Road, just at the intersection of Rtes. 224 & 7, in North Milton

Larry Krause, the host of Shaw TV’s “The Timberline Country Music Show” is coming to the Milton Community Hall on his Western Range Tour Monday, September 8th. He will sing Western Roots songs - his own and those by other songwriters who have worked to tell the stories of the people, places and times of the west, for all to know and remember. Also included in the one man show will be some selections of cowboy poetry, as well as some stories that may even have some truth winding through them. As Larry says, "This show will get you feelin’ you are sittin’ round the campfire after a cowboy day”. For more information on Larry visit his website at www.larrykrause.com Before the show on Monday the hall is hosting a Cowboy supper! Supper is at 6:30 for $8, and then the show is at 7:30 for $12 – or enjoy both for $15! If you could let us know if you plan to put on your cowboy boots and come along, we’ll know how many lads and lassies to plan for! We are at (902)566-3154 or miltoncommunityhall@gmail.com.

The Milton Community Hall are proud to host Blake Berglund and Belle Plaine on Monday August 25 at 7:30 p.m. This is the second part of the 3 part show "Best of the West". Blake Berglund and Belle Plaine are exactly what a music lover needs. Blake, raised in the Moose Mountains of Saskatchewan, had assorted musical backgrounds including grunge but has found his place in the country genre.  He has 3 studio albums under his belt with a 4th on the way this August. His music has been described as “unpredictable, intelligent and genuine”, he was also rewarded for his hard work in music by being named 2013 Saskatchewan Roots Artist of the Year. Belle, from Fosston, Saskatchewan, is also a very accomplished young artist. Having perfected her latest album “Notes from a Waitress” she is well on her way to finding success with her upcoming album “Last Mountain Lake”. Belle has the ability to captivate an audience with her interesting mix of genres which is described as “old time and jazzy”. Together Blake and Belle hope to entertain a large PEI crowd at the Milton Community Hall (7 New Glasgow Rd, Rte 224 Corner of Rte 7 & 224) as they kick off their small hall fundraiser tour. Blake and Belle are also playing in the 2014 Celebration zone so if you missed them or would like to see them in a more personal setting here is your chance! Tickets will be made available in advance for only $10 by calling the Milton Community Hall at 566-3154 or by email at miltoncommunityhall@gmail.com. Tickets will also be available at the door for $15. 

Once again we are running our annual Draw Down Lottery! What could be better than winning top prize of $5000? Or even one of our other $5000 worth of secondary prizes! All you need to do is get a ticket from any of the Hall Commitee members or at the Hall for $100. Many people team up together to pay the $100 which is also perfectly acceptable! There is no better time to win big and your help supporting the Hall is greatly appreciated!

Thank you and good luck!
