Whether you’re interested in shopping, learning, creating or enjoying some great entertainment, there’s plenty to do in New West this weekend. We are continuing with our popular feature, The Record’s Top Five (or More) Things to Do This Weekend and offer the following suggestions for Nov. 21 to 23.
1. Hunt for treasures at a good old-fashioned church rummage sale at Shiloh-Sixth Avenue United Church. The sale is being held on Saturday, Nov. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1111 Sixth Ave.
2. Get set for Christmas decorating at the St. Barnabas Thrift Store’s annual Christmas sale, which features all sorts of holiday décor, including trees, decorations and housewares. It’s taking place on Saturday, Nov. 22 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1010 Fifth Ave. You can also buy hotdogs and hot chocolate, with all funds raised supporting the church’s community outreach programs.
3. Take in Technology Days at the New Westminster Public Library to learn about the latest and coolest technology resources and tools available from the library. Technology Days, which takes place on Saturday, Nov. 22 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., includes hands-on demonstrations, on-the-spot assistance and prizes. The library is located at 716 Sixth Ave.
4. Enjoy the sounds of Broadway right here in the Royal City when Just Broadway! takes to the stage at the new Anvil Centre Theatre. Produced by James Bryson (musical director of Royal City Musical Theatre), Just Broadway! showcases songs from shows including Guys and Dolls, Jesus Christ Superstar, Mama Mia, Chicago and many more. An 18-piece orchestra and an eight-voice singing ensemble will join featured singers. Shows are taking place on Friday, Nov. 21 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 22 at 2 and 8 p.m. Tickets are $30 plus service charges (or $26 each for groups of eight or more.) For tickets, call 604-521-5050 or go to www.ticketsnw.ca.
5. Pop by River Market for a soap making drop-in where you can learn the basics of soap making. Jolene’s Handmade Soap is open to anyone six years and older. The drop-in workshop is offered from 12:30 to 5 p.m. and normally lasts an hour. For $12.50, you’ll get a pound of glycerin soap base, which you can use to make soaps in a variety of colours, scents and shapes. For more information, email Jolene_des@
