`War Horse'

June 6

Join us as we travel to Toronto to see "War Horse" at the Princess of Wales Theatre. The story begins in England as WWI begins. It is a remarkable tale of war and courage, loyalty and friendship between a boy and his horse. The cost of the trip is $157, which includes the bus, play and dinner. Reservations are not confirmed until payment is received.

`Ragtime'

June 26

Niagara-on-the-Lake is our destination for lunch and the matinee of "Ragtime" at the Festival Theater. In this powerful musical portrait, an era of innovation and unrest is set to the rhythms of ragtime. A sweeping saga of turn-of-the-century America, seen through the eyes of three very different families. The cost of the trip is $105, which includes the bus, play and buffet lunch. Reservations are not confirmed until payment is received.

** Please note for both trips: Reservations are due no later than April 23. All participants must have either an enhanced driver's license or passport. **
