Burger Wars in support of NEO Kids Foundation!
During the month of August, we have invited restaurants/cafés in Greater Sudbury to participate in a burger frenzy to battle for the title of ‘Best Burger’ in town, while raising funds for NEO Kids Foundation! How it works- Burger lovers will visit as many of the participating restaurants as possible in August and vote for their favourite burger on our website www.sudburyburgerwars.com For every burger sold at each location, $1 will be donated to NEO Kids Foundation to help keep our children closer to home. NEO Kids Foundation raises funds to purchase vital pieces of equipment, conduct life-changing research, and increase awareness for children’s health needs in Northeastern Ontario. #burgerwars #neokidsfoundation

James and the Giant Peach
From the composers of The Greatest Showman, La La Land and Dear Evan Hansen comes this incredibly moving and heart-pounding rendition of one of Roald Dahl’s fantastic tale of a boy, his insect friends and their amazing journey across the ocean on a giant piece of fruit! When James is sent by his conniving aunts to chop down their old fruit tree, he discovers a magic potion that results in a tremendous peach... and launches a journey of enormous proportions. Suddenly, James finds himself in the center of the gigantic peach, among human-sized insects with equally oversized personalities, but after it falls from the tree and rolls into the ocean, the group faces hunger, sharks and plenty of disagreements. Thanks to James' quick wit and creative thinking, the residents learn to live and work together as a family. The dangerous voyage is a success, but the adventure takes a whole new twist once they land on the Empire State Building.

Sarah Beatty / Dana Sipos at The Townehouse – Dinner & Show
Thurs, Aug 15 - Townehouse Tavern - Sudbury, ON "Dinner & Show" - 5:30PM-8:00PM SARAH BEATTY w/ Dana Sipos No Cover -- SARAH BEATTY With a voice that skips and soars, Hamilton, ON based Sarah Beatty is one hard artist to pin down. Writing and singing about life along white pine northern shorelines and post-industrial gentrifying geographies, this is no flash in the pan, pomp-and-circumstance-snake-oil-side-show experience. Consumable by firelight, hers is a show and tell for the perpetually curious and equally incredulous. Calling up confrontational connections, a spoonful of honey sweet syrup is all that accompanies the idiosyncratic insights, hard won sentiments, and possible sage advice she’s been working into song ever since her grandpa’s funeral in 2001. Her debut solo record Black Gramophone came 11 years later after a sinuous path through various musical collaborations, as did the Hamilton Music Award nomination and Top 10 roots charting that followed. Now, with Bandit Queen and a healthy dose of self-reflected energy, fact, fable, fiction, folklore and make-you-wanna-move-grooves get soaked in oak and subterranean landscapes. Stones get turned over. Answers get questioned. And more gets revealed... www.sarahbeatty.ca www.twitter.com/sarahbeattyca www.youtube.com/channel/UCeKwEuCWIQVvUn6kybF3GOQ www.facebook.com/sarahbeatty.ca -- DANA SIPOS Dana Sipos is a songwriter's songwriter and her hypnotic, nuanced songs are filled with a wild wind. She tours extensively, occasionally by bicycle, tall ship, canoe and train. Her last album garnered her a Canadian Folk Music Award Nod in the Pushing the Boundaries category. A stunning follow-up, Trick of the Light, featuring a stellar cast of Canadian musicians including Mary Margaret O'Hara, released on Toronto's Roaring Girl Records in spring 2018 to critical acclaim. www.danasipos.com www.twitter.com/DanaSuppose www.instagram.com/dana_sipos www.facebook.com/dana.suppose
