Knowlton Pub Presents "Elektrip"
On Monday December 29th Eugene
Brotto's band "Elektrip" will be playing
at the Knowlton Pub in what will surely be a night
of great music and a lot of fun.
Elektrip is a mix of rock and groove with a healthy
dose of electro and a performance by this multi-piece
band is often like a tight-rope of experimental
styles that progress without a safety net. Intense
rythmic ambiances and flowing colors of musical
movement will take you from sweat to pleasure! Yeah!
Entry is only $3 and proceeds will be donated to
charity. Come out and celebrate the end of the year
with friends and dance the night away. The Knowlton
Pub is at 267 Knowlton Road across from the Library.

Christmas Bird Count
The annual tradition of the Audobon Societies Christmas Bird Count
will take place on Saturday December 15th in Lac Brome. Volunteer
bird counters all over North America will be collecting data to
help researchers understand and maintain a database of bird activity.
Last year there were over 3.50 million of our little feathered
friends counted by close to 12,000 volunteers in Canada. The history
of the bird count dates to 1900 when scientist Frank Chapman decided
to take his friends out for a hunt...but instead of a traditional
shoot-to-kill hunt he instead led his group into the forest to
count and record the different species. 107 years later the Christmas
Bird Count is still going strong! For more ino on the Brome Lake
Bird Count call Tom Moore at 450-539-3336 or visit the Audobon
website at www.adobon.org/bird/cbc

Merry Christmas Brome Lake!
God give you
blessings at Christmas time;
Stars for your darkness, sun for your day,
Light on the path as you search for the Way,
And a mountain to climb.
God grant you courage this coming year,
Fruit for your striving, friends if you roam,
Joy in your labor, love in your home,
And a summit to clear.

Christmas Fireworks Display
 As
part of the month long Festival of Lights the village is planning
their second annual winter fireworks display. The show is simply
spectacular as the fireworks light up the village sky and sparkle
over the ColdBrook Park. Last year's fireworks were a huge success
and the streets were full of people who braved the chilly temperatures
to see the show. It is rare to see fireworks so close to the village
and it is really a fantastic show as the fireworks are set to
music. Bring a chair and a thermos of eggnog!

Carré, as shown by his latest thriller starring Israeli art
restorer and spymaster Gabriel Allon. Ahmed bin Shafiq, a former

aide, Monsignor Luigi Donati, who both appeared in Silva's previous
