Drowsy Maggies - St. Patrick's Day Extravaganza
2025-03-14 20:00 - 22:00 (America/Edmonton) | AB
Join us in welcoming the Drowsy Maggies for St Patrick’s Day 2025! The cost for the show will be $25 and your ticket can be secured with an e-transfer to tickets@willowspringsss.com.
The Drowsy Maggies are made up of: Emilie Kirwan (fiddle), Nicola McLaughlin (button accordion, banjo, guitar, bodhran, whistle), and Ciara Lane (vocals, guitar, bodhran). Their performances feature upbeat traditional Irish tunes inspired heavily by fiddler Emilie’s West Clare style of playing and Nicola’s energetic flair on the button accordion. Irish folk songs also feature in their repertoire, with Ciara Lane offering stripped-back acoustic versions of some of Ireland’s most beloved folk classics.

Jen Hawkins can’t believe her luck when she stumbles upon an old treasure-map. And yes, X does indeed mark the spot! So, just days later, under the wing of Doctor Livesey and Captain Smollett, she boards the Hispaniola and is soon riding the waves towards Skeleton Island. But so is Long John Silver and his parrot Cap’n Flint, not to mention the motliest collection of ‘sailors’ she’s ever set eyes on. Will her quest end happily, or will she be swimming with the fishes?
With ten fantastic new songs and a dramatic but comical script, ‘Forever Treasure Island’ brings the classic novel leaping into the 21st Century.

The Canadian Red Cross Babysitting course offers basic first aid and caregiving skills for youth 11-15 years old.

Babysitting promises to deepen and enhance the responsibility that older youth feel when caring for younger children.
