Tomatosoup in Action Summer 2010 Hard to believe this is the last newsletter before the summer break. The Tomatosoup Band has been very busy lately, and is going to get even busier over the next three months. We were honoured to be asked to participate in two 65th Liberation ceremonies. One in Ancaster on May 5, and also in London's huge celebrations on Saturday May 15. The turnout in Victoria Park for the ceremonies and parade was great, as was the entertainment which was provided by the Dykehoppers Band and the Klompen Dancers. Tomatosoup had the pleasure of playing outside to welcome guests as they arrived at the DCS for the afternoon events. Congratulations to everyone who made this event a huge success. On Saturday. June 12 starting at 11:00 am, Tomatosoup will once again be strolling around Shedden at the annual Rosy Rhubarb Festival. The International Food Festival held in Victoria Park on Saturday June 26 will find the band roaming the park starting at 2:30pm, then playing the band shell at 5:30pm. See you there! The Canada Day Parade in Sarnia on Thursday, July 1 is another annual for the band. Long parade but great crowds. After a few weeks off, the Tomatosoup will be in Parkhill to join in celebrating the 150th Anniversary of Noth Middlesex with a parade down Main Street. This will be on Saturday, July 31 starting at 11:00 am. Next on the schedule is Storybook Gardens where the band will perform at noon on Tuesday, August 14. Once again we will remember the anniversary of the "Big Blackout of 2003" when we head for Dundas, Ontario on Thursday, August 19 for the annual Cactus Parade starting at 7:00 pm. As the summer draws to a close, the T-Soup will return to Port Rowan on Labour Day weekend for the annual Bayfest Parade on Sunday, September 5. This will begin at 2:00 pm. On the weekend of September 18 and 19, the DCS will mark its 50th Anniversary with many planned events. Details will be announced later but the band looks forward to help celebrate this milestone. In closing, myself and the rest of the Tomatosoup Band would like to wish everyone a safe, healthy and happy summer and to those friends in Holland celebrating 65 years of Liberation, a special greeting.
