Celebrate Valentine's Day with Jazz at the Museum

Looking for a unique way to spend Valentine’s Day? Consider a trip to the Halton Region Museum in Kelso Conservation Area. On Sunday, February 14, 2010, from 2 to 4 p.m. – the Vickie Van Dyke Trio takes the stage for Valentine’s Day.

“Jazz at the Museum continues to attract music lovers from across the region,” said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. “This successful Halton Museum Foundation series offers a classy way to spend a special afternoon at an affordable price.”

Held in Halton Region Museum’s Hearth Room, the Jazz series is a fundraising event for the Foundation in support of the Museum’s capital renovation campaign. On February 14th, the Hearth Room will be decorated specially to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and door prizes (one night stay plus breakfast for two at the Best Western Milton Inn) are also on offer.

Vickie Van Dyke’s jazz vocals have earned her a dedicated following. Currently the midday host at Smooth Jazz WAVE 94.7 (Hamilton), Vickie was named Broadcaster of the Year at the 2005 Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards.

“Vickie’s wit, her versatile voice and diverse repertoire will be sure to create an unforgettably entertaining afternoon,” said Steve Baker, Museum Foundation Chairman and Jazz Series spokesperson.

Tickets are available in advance or at the door for $20 and include the entertainment and light snacks. To reserve your tickets, call 905-875-2200, ext. 21. (Sales are final and must be secured by a VISA number.) There is also a cash bar featuring Ontario wine and beer from Cameron’s Brewing Co. of Oakville. Seating is on a first come first served basis.

The Halton Region Museum is located inside Kelso Conservation Area in Milton. On entering Kelso Conservation Area, Jazz series guests should mention to gate staff that they are visiting the Museum specifically as some parking is available in front of the Museum.
