Calling all Blackburn Seniors! Our Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Holiday Potluck Dinner/Kitchen Party is fast approaching! Bring a favourite shareable dish (appetizer, salad, main or dessert) and join us for a potluck dinner and evening of music, fun and laughter. Doors open at 5:00 pm and dinner will begin at 5:30 pm.

The community hall kitchen is equipped with an oven, a microwave, a fridge and kettles. Cutlery, napkins, plates and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided. Please bring your own serving utensils and, if you wish, a copy of your recipe…just in case people ask you for it.

We are thrilled that local duo Mason`s Apron will be providing the musical entertainment for the evening. If the mood hits you, feel free to sing along or get up and show off your dance moves.

No NL holiday gathering would be complete without a visit from a few “mummers”. In NL, the “mummering” Christmas-time tradition usually involves a group of friends who disguise themselves and visit neighbours. If welcomed into a house, the mummers might do a quick performance or tell a joke. The hosts then try to guess the identities of their visitors. Once identified, the mummers remove their disguises and enjoy some time with the hosts before moving on to another location.

So, in the true NL holiday spirit, we are inviting those who wish to do so to don their best mummer`s outfit. We promise that we will not ask you to perform! However, a prize will be awarded for the best mummer`s costume!

To help us prepare for the event, please confirm your attendance by phoning Shirley at 613-841-7691, sending an email to seniors@blackburnhamlet.ca, or adding a note to the Comments section of the Facebook post for the event.

Looking forward to celebrating with you!
