Festival Players would like to send out a HUGE thank you to all who came to enjoy the very wet, but fantastic Opening Night of The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw by Peter Anderson & John Millard.

Thank you to everyone down at Rosehall Run Vineyards, our Official Season Wine Sponsor (and also home to Weedy Peetstraw for the month of August), Fifth Town Cheese (for providing some delicious cheese for the post-show reception), and of course the volunteers, staff, cast and crew for making last night a fabulous night despite the weather.

The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw will be playing from Aug 2-27, 2011 outdoors under a grand tent at Rosehall Run Vineyards (1243 Greer Rd. in Wellington). This is the third and final show of our 2011 summer season and it’s not one to be missed! A fabulous venue, delicious wine to enjoy while visiting, and a high energy show that will have your toe tapping from start to finish.

Get your tickets today online at www.countytix.ca or call 613-471-1991/1-8660584-1991 or stop by at the Box Office (289 Main Street Picton, inside Books & Co.).

We hope to see you there!
