Concert: Massey (Firehall Brewery)
2023-12-02 19:00 - 21:00 UTC | British Columbia
Massey is a dark, dreamy folk-pop band from Penticton, BC led by Madison Whale and featuring Lisa Hughes, Sean Petersen, and Jared Jackel. Madison, in her curiously confessional songwriting style, explores the expanses encompassing heartache, longing, love and loss. Shining high above rolling country rhythms, Madison’s voice is clear, conscious and timelessly melodic.
Opening set by Vincent DeCowans. Hailing from the deep, organic roots of Cawston, BC, Vincent’s shabby-but-not-too-shabby mock-rock balladry is the perfect soundtrack for any evening down at the pub, especially with friends in tow and spirits flying high.
Entry by donation. Please note that seating is first-come-first-serve, and don’t forget donation cash for the artist! (Credit/debit donations accepted at the bar or with your server)

Silk Scarf Workshop is a 2 1/2 hour workshop at Phantom Creek Estates by bringing the beautiful, ancient art of water marbling to the 21st century by inviting you to be the artist. Make your own water marbled silk scarf. Each workshop begins with a demonstration. Then each artist chooses their colours and floats the paint one drop at a time on the surface of the water, then uses marbling combs, rakes, or stylus to create the design of their liking. If you can sprinkle cheese on a pizza, or write your name with a pencil you can make magic with us! Tickets include all supplies to make and take your silk scarf and a glass of Phantom Creek Estates wine. Non-alcoholic beverages available. Two sessions: workshop #1: 11:30am-2pm and workshop #2: 2:30pm-5pm
