On Saturday afternoon, over 80 participants took part in a cruise and poker rally to Liscombe Lodge. Cruise participants returned to the Sherbrooke Lions Club for supper served by SHOPS. The newly formed SHOPS (Sherbrooke Opportunities Society) group, have banded together to insure that mentally challenged adults and youth of the area have a space available for programs.

Eastern Shore band “Marine Drive” mixed it up for an appreciative audience at the Courthouse Concert on Friday evening and “Master Blaster” kept everyone on their feet at the Saturday evening dance at the St. Mary’s Lions Hall. Although the Historic Sherbrooke Village Development Society hosts the event, many community groups take part and benefit. The St Mary’s Lions Club, the Sherbrooke & Area Volunteer Fire Department and St. Paul’s Catholic Church all had very successful concession stands.

We hope everyone enjoyed the show and hope to see you all back here next year!

To make your trip to the Sherbrooke area more enjoyable, we have compiled a list of places to see, dine, sleep, and shop.

Places to See

Sherbrooke Village
522-2400; 1-888-743-7845, Sherbrooke, NS
Enjoy the sights and sounds of a horse-drawn wagon creaking down a gravel road, the smell of newly shaved wood in the woodturner's shop, and the thump of the printer's manual press or the weaver's loom. This picturesque former lumbering and shipbuilding community looks as it did 100 years ago, before gold mining transformed it into a boom town. Twenty-five buildings on their original sites await you.

Nova Scotia Lighthouse Interpretive Centre and Port Bickerton Beach Park
364-2000, Port Bickerton, NS, Route 211
Enter into the mysterious, mystical magic of our maritime lighthouses. In a light keeper's home, the Centre provides a wealth of information about the lighthouses of Nova Scotia and celebrates the place of lighthouses in our history. The light tower on top of the house offers a wonderful view of the sea and the community of Port Bickerton. Nature Trails. Part of the Port Bickerton Lighthouse Beach Park.

Goldenville Gold Mining Interpretive Centre
Goldenville, NS
This restored turn-of-the-century church now houses a gold mine interpretive center. If you believe the movies, you had to head far north to find gold in the late 1800s and early 1900s. But there were working gold mines throughout North America, including several located along Antigonish and the Eastern Shore. One of these mines is immortalized at the Goldenville Gold Mining Interpretive Centre.

St. Mary’s River Education and Interpretive Centre
522-2099; Sherbrooke, NS, 8404 Highway 7
Exhibits relate to salmon angling on the St. Mary's River. The Centre offers an excellent collection of fishing tackle, photos and memorabilia of famous anglers such as Babe Ruth.
Stonewall Leisure ParkHighway 7, Sherbrooke, NSLocated beside the St. Mary's River Education & Interpretive Centre, the Stonewall Leisure Park offers visitors, hikers, and curious tourists the chance to explore our wilderness. Walk along mossy stone walls, have a picnic, or view the river from one of three lookouts.
