OSLT: 7 Stories

7 Stories is a fast-paced, dark comedy, full of eccentric characters trying to escape their limitations and realities. It takes place on a
seventh story ledge, where a man is contemplating life and struggling to find meaning in his existence. The “Man” is endlessly interrupted by a variety of quirky people, and reluctantly becomes drawn into the absurdity of their lives. These “neighbours” are so self-absorbed that they don’t even bother to ask why he’s out there in the first place. This quick-witted, sophisticated satire will have you pondering life and death, right up to its “leap of faith” conclusion.

Fruit Tree Herbal Sprays
2025-06-17 19:00 - 20:30 | Rooted By The Bluffs, 170513 Centre Road, Georgian Bluffs, Ontario, Canada
Learn how to use plants to make sprays that give your fruit trees a boost in fighting disease and insect pests. Plants are made up of a diversity of nutrients and minerals, that when broken down can be used to feed your fruit trees. Growing your own fruit tree sprays is another step towards a sustainable garden ecosystem. We will cover several different sprays that I have tried over many years, and some of these are also fantastic for the veggie garden! We will also go through the process of making one of the sprays.
We will be spending the full time outside. Please check the weather before you come, and dress accordingly. If the weather is really rainy (> 5mm), we will reschedule to the same time on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.

The City of Owen Sound presents Mid Week Music with Ryan Knight
I’m a musician local to Owen Sound and have been working to revive my musical performance practice over the past few years. I was inspired to build my current repertoire by a successful audition to play at The Couple’s Resort in Whitney Ontario, just east of Algonquin Park. I play acoustic covers that I rearrange to suit my style and have recently added some country and Americana music to my classic rock, singer/songwriter, and Canadian content covers. I am currently working on composing some original music and hope to have a performance ready song soon. I’m very excited to be playing here in Owen Sound for a local audience.
I hope you can join me at Harrison Park this June 18, I hear it’s National Picnic Day too.
Please bring a lawn chair and join me!
