One reply on “Mill Calendar”
Re: this calendar listing: A Spell of Cold Weather . . . at the ArtsCenter, $5.
I’m the director of A Spell of Cold Weather and I wish to offer a correction to the listing: it is an ArtsCenter Presentation but it takes place at The Special Events Centre at University Mall not at the ArtsCenter.
Thanks,
John Paul Middlesworth
