Wednesday, June 15th, 2005
We have arranged a spectacular night of Newfoundland
entertainment. Join us for a catamaran cruise
in the North Atlantic to watch for whales, puffins
and icebergs.
After the cruise, we are back on land and off
to an evening of great food and time with the
"Spirit
of Newfoundland" theatre group! Now
if you're wondering what a "time"
is, the Dictionary
of Newfoundland English (yes we have our
own unique way of talking), a time is defined
as "... a party or celebration, especially
a communal gathering with dancing, entertainment,
etc; compared with a scoff."
You'll have to look
up 'scoff' for yourselves. This is an evening
you'll never forget! Sign up as soon as you
can. |
