Come Home Cafe: Fall in Love with Greenspond


Date: Apr 3
7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Where: Level 3 Atrium

What is a Come Home Café? A Come Home Café is a celebration of rural community life, culture, and history. You can think of it as a return, in spirit, to a home town. It is both a mini-reunion, and a way to share a taste of the unique culture of our local places with those who grew up elsewhere. Each Come Home Café will focus on a different, special Newfoundland and Labrador town, and includes stories, memories, music, and more. Whether you are returning home or coming from away, the Come Home Café has a spot saved for you! The first in our series of Come Home Café's - join us as we celebrate Greenspond, a unique fishing community that was once known as the Capital of the North. Dale Jarvis, will interview community members as they share stories, music, and much more from their beloved town. A drink is included in the ticket price. If you would like to help organize a Come Home Café for your community at The Rooms, contact Joy Barfoot at joybarfoot@therooms.ca
