Beginning Feb. 26th, they'll be reopening from 4:30 to 9 p.m., and will be closed on Tuesday/Wednesdays. Casual Fine Dining, in Grace Point Square.

Remember the Alma de Espana presentation of Gareth Owen & his Familia Flamenca, at ArtSpring, on the 21st. 7:30 event.

Brandenburg Concertos, Sunday. March 1st, at ArtSpring, at 2:30 p.m. -- circle this on your calendar! Call 250-537-2102 for more details.

Check out The Point gallery, at the "south end", for a new show by Linda Walker (in the lower gallery). In the upper gallery, catch Marion Pape's video work. Both presentations are a study of "the other". The show opens on the 22nd, with a reception from 2 - 5, with the artists in attendance, and then runs through to the 15th of March.

Also on the 21st, there's a chance to dance up a storm at Fulford Hall, and to benefit the Fiddleworks' fundraising to go to New York. Potluck supper, and AGM meeting before, plus dancing at 7 p.m. A family style event! Enjoy!

On the 22nd, at 2:30 p.m., at ArtSpring, it's Beyond the Pale, billed as Canada's most exciting Klezmer Band. Check it out!

Planning a wedding event this year? The Driftwood's annual wedding insert is in this week's Driftwood, and is full of great ideas, for all tastes/all budgets.

Don't forget, too, the annual Driftwood Great Pet event -- deadline to enter your best friend is on March 3rd, with winning photos printed in Driftwood's March 11th issue.

Remember the classic rock opera, Tommy? March 24 to 27 will see this production coming to ArtSpring, Call 604-808-7690 or 250-537-5289 for more details!

Take time to wander through Jill Louise Campbell's evocative gallery...her colours sing off the canvas, and immediately invite one to think of sunnier times.

Enjoy lunch or dinner in Calvin's Bistro's newly redecorated space...the Islanders look forward to their return, always, from their January holiday break!

Hike Ruckle Park on a sunny and windless day...you can tell the season is shifting.

Lots to see and to do, as we meander slowly into "real Spring". Enjoy!
