If you like Celtic music, you’ll enjoy a concert at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Saturday, Oct. 17. “Crooked Wood” begins its performance at 7:30. When you’re listening to the music, you might want to remember that your $10 ticket is part of fundraising for the church. Admission by ticket only; call Betty McInnis, 613-273-3248.

It’s still October, and that means Oktoberfest. Can you hear the sausages simmering now? You’ll be able to eat all you want at Portland United Church’s Oktoberfest meal this Friday (Oct. 16). Food will be served from 4:30 to 6:30. Proceeds will go the “Dental Issues Fund” at Country Roads Community Health Centre in Portland.

They’ll have you on the edge of your seat. Four well-known Canadian mystery writers will be in Westport on Sunday, Oct. 25 to read from their work. Giles Blunt, Barbara Fradkin, Mary Jane Maffini and John Moss will read their excerpts in the fine acoustics of Westport’s United Church from 1 to 5 p.m. This second annual “Writers Reading” is sponsored by the Westport Arts Council.
