Director Cathy Clarke has put together a genuine live radio show as it was done back in the 1930s, complete with a live band on stage and advertising jingles. As in the early touring radio shows, the audience will watch the actors perform live – complete with ‘sound effects’, live band on stage and all the surprises and mishaps that come with ‘live’ broadcasting.

Enjoy the wonderful music of the era, a recreation of famous acts such as Burns and Allen, suspense filled mystery theatre, soaps, household hints and surprise guests! Now does that sound like fun, or what!

Showtimes are:

Friday February 26th, 8pm

Saturday February 27th, 8pm

Sunday February 28th at 2pm.

All shows are taking place at the Old Town Hall in Almonte, On.

While our focus will be on children, we are also hosting the First Annual Parade of Snowmen Decorating Competition.
The competition is open to any business, group, or institution in the community and is free to enter.
The Recreation Department has 21 plywood snowmen silhouettes that have been donated by local businesses. Participants must come up with creative and fun ways to paint and decorate both sides of their snowmen.
This is a great team building exercise! Once completed they will all be installed on the light standards in downtown Pembroke where they will remain throughout last week of January and the month of February.
During this time, the Snowmen will be viewed on line as well, as part of a silent auction open to the public. Proceeds raised for each snowman will go directly to the charity of your choice.

There are only 21 silhouettes this year, and registration is first come, first serve! So don’t delay! Once the registration form has been completed and faxed or dropped off at the PMC at 393 Pembroke St. W, the Recreation Department will contact you to come and pick up your Snowman cut out!

Pembroke’s SnoSpree 2010 is your winter getaway to good ol’ fashion family fun! Check out all the exciting action happening between Feb 4th to the 7th, 2010! There is something for everyone! Details at PembrokeFestivals.com
