Queens County Heritage Annual Tilley Bash

Posted on April 29, 2013 by

922822_574943279205282_567586240_nIt’s that time of year again when Queens County Heritage kick off their 2013-14 season with the annual Tilley Bash.  This year is the 15th annual event and they’ll celebrate Sir Leonard’s 195th birthday!

Please join Queens County Heritage on Saturday, May 11, 7 p.m. at the Court House in the village of Gagetown.  There’ll be gourmet finger food served buffet-style, a refreshments bar, door prizes and the friendliest bunch of people you’d ever want to party with.

Following the food, a fabulous evening of entertainment will begin, featuring acclaimed New Brunswick musicians Jim Stewart and Bernie Houlahan.  If you’ve ever heard of the group Hal and Tow, you’re in for a treat.  Or perhaps you know of the Marco Polo Suite, that anthology of folk music about the famous ship?  Jim Stewart is the composer!  He and Bernie promise an evening of song, poetry, stories and laughs.

There’s limited seating so get your tickets now!  Reserve them by contacting Queens County Heritage.

We really hope you’ll come.
