August 30, 2012 Ceilidh

The final ceilidh of the Chestico Museum’s 2012 summer ceilidh series was held on Thursday, August 30, 2012. We had a great line up of entertainment. As this was our last ceilidh of the summer it was an hour and a half in length and there were 6 draws for door prizes!

Mary Elizabeth MacInnis helped us out immensely by filling in at the last minute when out original fiddler had to cancel. Mary Elizabeth not only brought her fiddle but she also played the piano to accompany Pius MacIsaac. Pius brought his guitar and mandolin but also had his fiddle and sang a song he composed for his godchild. So much talent!

Our singers were two of The Boys From the Hood (Edgar Cormier and Gerard Walker) who always do a fabulous job! People just can’t help singing along with them!

This year, our ceilidhs were organized by Elizabeth Chisholm who was one of our summer students. Thank you Elizabeth for all your hard work!

As always, photos of our ceilidh can be found on our Facebook page.
