Noon Hour Series: May Ip
2025-08-20 12:00 - 14:00 | Georgian Shores United Church, 997 4th Ave E, Owen Sound, ON, Canada
This year will be the 30th anniversary of the annual Noon Hour Series – an inclusive weekly summer celebration of music in our community. For most of the years, Georgian Shores United Church at 4th Ave and 10th Street East in Owen Sound has opened its doors each Wednesday afternoon in July and August to welcome this inclusive, multi-generational concert series.
Originally organized and developed by Joachim Ostertag with support from his family, this past two years Kelda Mikalson, a local singer and music teacher, has coordinated the series.
The organizers of the Noon Hour Series and Georgian Shores United Church believe that music is for sharing.
“If you have been shy to attend indoor concerts in the past because they seem so formal and full of mysterious rules, we’ve got you. Come and relax in the cool, eat your lunch, move to the music, cheer when you enjoy a passage, whatever feels good.”
Children are encouraged to attend. Whether you have a penny or a 50 to contribute we’d love to see you there at any or all of the concerts.

Monarch Tagging Workshop with OSFN
2025-08-24 13:00 - 15:00 | OSFN
How is it that monarch butterflies migrate 4,000 km to a place they’ve never been before? Why do we still need Citizen Scientists to assist in a North American monarch tagging initiative? How can they fly with a tiny “license plate” stuck to one wing? And how can you help monarchs in our Bruce Grey area? These questions and your questions will be addressed in the afternoon tagging workshop. We hope to net and tag migrating monarchs as part of Monarch Watch Citizen Science research, so wear your running shoes and bring your insect nets (some will be provided).

Mestizo Mexican Cuisine Workshops: Consome de pollo, Chilaquiles con chorizo y frijoles refritos (Chicken consommé, Chilaquiles with chorizo and refried beans)
2025-08-25 08:00 - 17:00 | Grey Roots, 102599 Grey Road 18, Owen Sound, ON, N4K 5N6, Canada
Join us for a hands-on cooking experience celebrating one of Mexico’s most iconic and beloved dishes: chilaquiles. In this flavorful workshop, you’ll learn to prepare crispy tortilla chips simmered in homemade salsa—choose between vibrant salsa verde or bold salsa roja—and top your dish with juicy shredded chicken or housemade chorizo crafted entirely from scratch.
You’ll mix your own blend of spices to create authentic Mexican chorizo, discovering how to balance heat and seasoning to achieve the perfect flavor. You’ll also cook chicken and use its broth to make consomé de pollo, a traditional and nourishing starter that pairs beautifully with your main dish.
Once everything’s ready, you’ll build your plate of chilaquiles with classic garnishes like crema, queso fresco, onions, avocado, and even a fried egg, if you’d like. Then, sit down with the group to enjoy your creation, and leave with a printed recipe and the culinary skills to recreate it at home.
This workshop is open to all skill levels and offers an authentic, flavorful introduction to the vibrant world of Mexican home cooking.
Duration: 3 hours
Location: Indoors / Kitchen
