Willy Wonka Was Wonderful!

Did you get a chance to see the kids of Baysville put on the theatre performance of "Willy Wonka?"

If you were one of the many audience members who packed the house at the Rene Caisse Theatre in Bracebridge, you know it was a terrific performance and a wonderful night.

And it was a double treat because we were also entertained by the great performance of "Alice in Wonderland" by the kids of Dwight.

Thanks to Hub Productions for conducting the theatre workshops, Linda Lacroix and Peggy Hurley of the Baysville and Dwight libraries respectively for their vision in bringing this opportunity to Lake of Bays, and to the many sponsors who made this production possible.
