Dream Café Penticton

The Dream Cafe on Penticton’s Front Street, is one of those understated, brilliant places that when you finally find it, you wonder why everyone in the valley isn’t clamoring to get in. Well, actually they are but if you buy tickets in advance you won’t have a problem.

The food is good and the ambiance unusual in that it’s a bit like being in somebody’s really comfortable living room. The Dream Café has a superb and eclectic line-up of entertainment to get you moving and grooving… Check it out online at the Dream Café.

Summerland Film Club – April 24

Frank Marten’s next movie is the documentary titled ‘The Trials of Henry Kissinger’. “Did Henry Kissinger sabotage the 1968 Vietnam peace talks for his own political gain? Did he orchestrate the secret bombing of Cambodia without approval from the US Congress? Did he authorize covert operations – involving kidnapping and assassination – to overthrow a Chilean President? THE TRIALS OF HENRY KISSINGER investigates these and other charges. “An expose of the corrosiveness of power. Skilful and detailed.” –The New Yorker. “A stunning and overwhelmingly cogent case for Kissinger as a calculating war criminal.” Boston Globe

Admission by donation. For more info: Summerland Film Club
April 24 at 7:00 pm at the Rosedale Room at the Summerland Legion.
