Events on Pender Island, BC May 1 - May 4

Welcome to May everyone! It seems as though the weather gods think the new month is cause for celebration -- the Pender forecast is for sun and warmer temperatures right through the weekend (unless you count a bit of rain on Friday...which I choose not to count, as it disturbs my "right throught the weekend" assertion.) Anyway -- enough of my ramblings...

What's on this weekend:

Saturday, May 3:

9:30am - Farmer's Market at the Community Hall. Come out and support local farmers and artists. Find produce, tasty treats, beautiful island-made crafts and more! Until 1pm
10:30am - FREE Household Hazardous Waste Drop-off at the Recycling Depot. Please note there is no regular recycling today
11:00am - Pender Pirates' first game of the season. Come by to watch the kids play ball, have a snack at the concession and for your chance to win the 50/50 draw!
7:30pm - Film Night at the Hall presents The Golden Compass - Based on the novel by Phillip Pullman. In a parallel universe, a young girl journeys to the far North to save her best friend and other kidnapped children from terrible experiments by a mysterious organization.

As a bonus, I thought I would give you idea about all of the group meetings that go on here on Pender. I don't usually include them in my Events List, but if you are considering a move to Pender, you may be interested in reading about some of the many groups that you can join to meet your neighbours and get involved in the community:
