King Swings opens this week at Daniel's
This year's festival promises to be something more than just jazz. Jeff Healey will be back with the Jazz Wizards to kick things off. Friday night will feature Danny Marks Rock and Roll Review, with a lot of numbers in the style of the '60s and '70s. The attraction Saturday will be the country, blue grass and folk sounds of the Good Brothers. Nobleton resident Bev Berger, spokesperson for the Lions Foundation of Canada, will be on hand. As well, there will be a booth set up, with dogs and puppies in training all three nights. As usual, the festival will be held in the backyard behind Daniel's. Tickets are $35 each for the July 20 show with Jeff Healey and $30 for each of the other two nights. They can be obtained at Daniel's or Patty's Country Flowers.
The Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides is a national organization that trains Dog Guides to assist Canadians with disabilities. The Foundation has been training Dog Guides to serve the needs of Canadians with visual, hearing, medical or physical disabilities since 1983. While the cost of placing and training a Dog Guide is approximately $20,000, each eligible candidate is provided a Dog Guide, including all required training, travel and accommodation at no charge. To date, more than 1,200 Canadians, ranging in age from eight to 84, have received a Dog Guide. Lions Foundation of Canada does not receive any government funding, so it must rely solely on fundraising activities, corporate sponsorships and private donations to support the Dog Guide training programs.
