Please join us as we celebrate the opening of the hooked rug exhibit and the launch of the book A Whale of a Tale . . . With Hooks, Lines and Singers by Frances Ennis, Maxine Ennis and Five Island Rug Hooking Group on Wednesday, July 6, 6:00 – 7:30 pm in the Upper Concourse of the St. John's Arts & Culture Centre. A Whale of a Tale . . . With Hooks, Lines and Singers began as a rug hooking project organized with Festival 500 Sharing the Voices to showcase a passion for music, storytelling and rug hooking. The project evolved into a beautiful book that follows the progress of the rugs and includes practical instructions on how to create exquisite hooked rugs. The book will be available for purchase. The authors will be making a presentation. There will be a cash bar. For July 6th only, get $5 off the price of the book when you show your ticket for the Festival 500 Opening Gala Concert (limit 1 book/ticket, while supplies last).
