Welcome to Music, Market & Park It, presented by the Township of West Lincoln. This six-week summer event series combines a musical concert, a vendors' market and a car show.

This special tour, available by pre-booking only, offers a unique opportunity to explore areas of HMCS Haida that are typically off-limits to the public.

With a maximum group size of just 10 people, you'll enjoy an intimate and personalized experience. Discover the hidden corners and hear the untold stories of this historic naval ship, guided by our knowledgeable staff.

Don't miss your chance to see the HMCS Haida from a whole new perspective!

The duo, comprised of Kieron (Elwood Blues) Lafferty and Wayne (Jake Blues) Catania, were hand-picked by Dan Aykroyd, Judy Belushi Pisano and original Blues Brothers Musical Director, Paul Shaffer to carry the torch first lit by the iconic duo of Aykroyd and John Belushi on Saturday Night Live in 1978 and later immortalized in the eponymous blockbuster 1980 film directed by John Landis.

Judy Belushi, referring to the duo as anything but an imitation of the original act said, “Kieron and Wayne are not imitators, they live the music and embody the characters. They understand the spirit of The Blues Brothers and revel in the joy of being Jake and Elwood”. Backed by the all star Intercontinental Rhythm & Blues Band, The Official Blues Brothers Revue is a multi-media interactive experience showcasing their undeniable talent in songs that comprise a virtual encyclopedia of rock, blues and soul. Audiences of all ages have been on their feet as the duo delivers classics such as “Soul Man,”, “Gimme Some Lovin,” , “Sweet Home Chicago” and “Shout.”

One critic recently raved, “…the roof raising show has the same down home energy as any of Aykroyd and Belushi’s performances. Lesser performers might be tempted to allow their characterizations to veer into parody—but not Catania and Lafferty, baby!”

We welcome Rita Brown to talk about some of the highlights from the Museum's fashion collection.

Rita Brown received her training in Costume History, Costume Design and Cutting, in London England. From 1964 until her retirement in 2007, she worked as Head Cutter of women’s costume, and for ten years as Head of Wardrobe at the Shaw Festival Theatre.

She has also cut principal costumes for other theatre productions including the Canadian Opera Company, The Tarragon Theatre and the Canadian Stage in Toronto, as well as the New York City Opera, The National Theatre in London and the Gorky Theatre in St. Petersburg.

Rita has also assisted in mounting costume exhibitions at the Royal Ontario Museum, The Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Musee des Arts Decoratif in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Currently she is working on a book, “The Lady’s Riding Habit: The Evolution of Women’s Equestrian Dress,” coming out later this year.
