“Haldimand Has Talent”

(and they’re called the Breaking Wind)

   Enjoy the rides, the good food and great concert show performance by The Breaking Wind at the “Stars On Stage” show at the Caledonia Fair this Friday between 5:30 and 6pm.  If you missed that performance you’ll have another chance to see them on Sunday at 2pm.   TBW will appear with some of the best talent in the county on the fairground stage (where the derby is held) for the big kickoff to the fair event in the “Haldimand Has Talent” show.

    It’s been a whirlwind year for The Breaking Wind, which features members from both Six Nations and Caledonia.  So far, the youngsters won the Caledonia Battle of the Bands, performed live at Live Earth 08-08-08, received rave reviews in notable newspapers, including the Washington Post, played at the Grand Opening of the A-Sharp Cafe (in Santa’s Log Cabin), demonstrated how to record a live band in Apple Training Workshop on GarageBand and Logic 8, recorded some awesome tracks at Metal Works Studio in Toronto for an upcoming CD, performed at the Kitchener -Guelph Blues Festival and played at the Caledonia Canada Day Celebration.

    Ryan Johnson, of iC SuperCOMPUTERS and bass guitarist for The Breaking Wind, will be on hand at the iC SuperCOMPUTERS booth to advise young musicians, answer questions and demonstrate how much fun it is for kids of all ages (including retirees) to make a multi-track recordings complete with their own custom iTunes album cover art.  You may also Wes, Marty and “Little Ryan” hanging out and having a good time.

To get to the shop from the fair, just exit the fairgrounds and turn left/west.  We are 14 km from the fairgrounds and we are on the same road.

In Caledonia it’s called, “Caithness Road”, along the river it’s called, “Grand River Scenic Parkway” and further down the road it’s name changes to Brant Highway No. 54.   But, it’s all the same road.

If you are heading South on Upper James from Hamilton, No. 6 South becomes Argyle Street in Caledonia.  Turn right (West) at the lights on to Caithness Road (sign says, “Grand River Scenic Parkway). We’re between 12 and 13km.

If you are heading North on Hwy 6 from Port Dover, you can turn left (West) on Fourth Line at Willowgrove (No. 29). Turn right (North) onto Chiefswood Road in downtown Ohsweken. Cross the Chiefswood Road Bridge over the Grand River and turn left (West) onto Hwy 54.

   ...Or [from Hwy 6 North] turn right onto Argyle Street (just before the No. 6 Bypass) and turn left at the first lights after crossing the Caledonia Bridge, over the Grand River, in downtown Caledonia onto Caithness Road (Grand River Scenic Parkway).

You can call it Caithness, you can call it Grand River Scenic Parkway, you can called Brant Highway No. 54... Just don’t call it late for dinner.
