Digby, Nova Scotia-scallop capital of the world.

We were fortunate to be in Digby for both a low and high tide. Look at the difference in how much of the dock is showing in the double picture.

We stayed downtown at the Fundy Complex Dockside Suites. Our suite had a king size bed, a jetted tub, a kitchenette and an additional room. Spotless. #digbynovascotia #scallopcapitoloftheworld #fundycomplexdocksidesuites

Happy National Fried Scallops Day!!

Something celebrated around the world, but perfected here in Digby, Nova Scotia - The Scallop Capital of the World.

Scallops were first commercially harvested here 100 years ago.

We are known for having the largest scallop fleet, one you can proudly see as you walk along our boardwalk.

The Bay of Fundy is prime for scallop catching.

But really, it`s all about the taste, and you can`t get em tastier or fresher than you do here in Digby.

So, care to join us soon for some scallops?

Cleaning out fish and fishing out truths 🧐🐟

Meet our wonderfully creative set director, Richard Bennett!

From Richard:
"I am excited to be part of the team bringing a new work to the stage. Since retiring from teaching I have become more interested in our “neck of the woods.” The people, their lives and locales provide a rich tapestry of the human experience. Our unique ingenuity, care for others, and wonderful sense of humour are an endless source of artistic inspiration. With “Fish and Dicks” our challenge has been to create a world, on stage, that is recognizable to those who know Brier Island while reflecting the whimsical nature of the book’s original stories and illustrations."

Catch Richard`s fantastic work at "Fish and Dicks: Case Files from the Digby Neck & Islands Fish-Gutting Service & Detective Agency" this November!

Many are wishing Murray Ross, the man behind the Maud Lewis Replica House, a happy birthday on a post that`s a few years old.

His birthday was in fact yesterday, but that shouldn`t stop us from wishing him a happy belated birthday here today!

Murray Ross’ family was close to Maud and Everett. Murray met them when he was 10 years old and visited their home. Ross built a replica house about 6-8 km from the Marshalltown Memorial site. It is located beside his home in Rossway.

He went through great efforts to ensure it was authentic. It took Ross about a year to research the original house before he built the replica. After it was built, visitors started to arrive, telling Ross their stories about Maud. Copies of Maud‘s paintings and framed photographs adorn the walls. The replica house even has a bed similar to Maud‘s.

Ross also constructed a copy of the shop used by Everett. Ross said Everett used the shop to store firewood and to keep scallop shells and stones for Maud to paint.

Ross‘ bird feeders, shaped as Maud‘s house, are featured in the shop.

It’s been such a fun challenge to play so many distinct characters in this play - 11 to be exact. It is both invigorating and exhausting, to say the least! It’s also rewarding as an actor to acrobatically shapeshift between these wonderfully unique characters."

Welcome to Fort Anne National Historic Site in Annapolis Royal.

Nestled along the edge of the Annapolis Basin and Annapolis Royal`s scenic National Historic District, Fort Anne is Canada`s first national historic site designated in 1917.

Considered one of the most hotly contested places in North America; this has always been Mi`kmaw territory and the site of treaty negotiations. Both the French and the British held military control during the early 1600s and 1700s - the area changed hands seven times during this time.

Today, an interactive and immersive exhibit inside the Officers` Quarters museum showcases Fort Anne as a meeting place for many cultures including the Mi`kmaq, Scots, Acadians, Black Loyalists, British and French.

Stroll the star-shaped earthwork fortifications on a guided Vauban Fort tour or learn more about the Acadians that lived here and why Annapolis Royal is considered the Cradle of Acadie. Families will enjoy the Parks Canada Xplorer Program with lots of fun activities perfect for kids.

The grounds and walking path provide lots of space to enjoy a hike or picnic. Fort Anne played a key role in the forces and events that shaped this community, the province and the nation.

Get to know Jesse:
"I grew up in the idyllic Annapolis Valley, immersed in its rich tapestry of musical traditions and cultures. This early exposure, combined with alternative schooling that promoted independent growth and curiosity, ignited my love for music. From the folk-rock rhythms of The Chimney Swifts to the high-energy grooves of The Funtime Brigade, or the whimsical gypsy style of WineHardt, my songwriting and performances have explored many forms and evolved with each new experience. I’m so excited to lend my songwriting skills to this production and look forward to treading the boards with my fellow actors!"
