This is a time for local history, as Brandon celebrates 125 years of being a city. Last Friday evening, Meg and I attended the presentation of “Gossip in the Graveyard.” Sponsored by Brockie Donovan Funeral Home and the Brandon 125 Committee, it was preformed by the Brandon theatre group Seven Ages Productions.
This event was a terrific way to bring community history to life. Actors portrayed colourful local figures from the past, at their actual grave sites in the Brandon Cemetery. Led by an actor dressed as Brandon's first mayor, the group stopped by about one dozen places throughout the cemetery. The weather was great, and those attending seemed to really enjoy themselves. Ending with refreshments, it was a wonderful evening.
