Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "The American Crown Circus and Circo Osorio" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
An international circus show is coming to Victoria and Nanaimo.
The American Crown Circus and Circo Osorio (https://www.americancrowncircus.com/show/) has set up a massive tent at the Woodgrove Centre in Nanaimo, where performances will be held until Oct. 2.
Then, the circus show comes to the Mayfair Shopping Centre in Victoria from Oct. 5 to Oct. 9.
The family-friendly show includes acrobats, a motorcycle "globe of death" stunt cage, and other performances put on by professionals from across North America.
"Children and adults will be captivated as aerial artistry unfolds, motorcycles madness, acrobats defying the law of gravity inches from their seats," reads the event's website.
There will be two shows each day, except for on Oct. 9, when there will be one evening show – for a total of 11 shows over the course of the week.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Model Railway Show - Victoria Model Railway Club
lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Model Railway Show - Victoria Model Railway Club" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All aboard for the Model Railway Show on Sunday
Bend down, cock your head to one side and you might hear the "All Aboard!" announcement by the miniature railroad station master as the rolling stock gets moving at the Victoria Model Railway Show, Sunday at the Mary Winspear Centre.
This is the 31st anniversary of the show, put on by members of the Victoria Model Railway Club.
Members will be bringing examples of different scale (sized) trains — HO, Lionel O and Garden-scale — with HO making up 65 per cent of hobby trains.
Up to four trains and up to 20 box cars will constantly be on the move during the show, running on a 40 by 60-foot highly-detailed model railroad diorama at the centre of the room.
You will see a CNR freight train, a logging train with a Shay locomotive or a GE 44-ton switcher (a diesel-electric locomotive built between 1940 and 1956 typically used for light switching duties) at the show.
"There has been an increase in the number of people to the hobby, thanks to COVID-19," said Ted Alexis, a member of the Victoria Model Railway Club. "During the pandemic people were looking for things to do and discovered, or rediscovered, the hobby."
He said that the two main demographics are seniors and youth.
But younger children are not forgotten, with a "fabulous" Lego layout planned, said Alexis
Visitors wanting to add to their collection can buy or swap a large array of new or used model train-related items found on more than 50 tables.
The show, which organizers expect to draw up to 1,300 visitors, supports the Times Colonist Christmas Fund and C-FAX's Santa's Anonymous.
Admission is $8 for adults, $7 youth and National Model Railroad Association members, $16 family and free for children eight and under if accompanied by an adult. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 24 at the Mary Winspear Centre, 2243 Beacon Ave., Sidney.

Sooke Fall Fair back this weekend for 110th yearThe fair expects to attract 4,000 visitors this year, on par with pre-pandemic numbers
Cheer on Sooke's fastest zucchini, admire the scariest scarecrow, enjoy a pet parade or check out the vegetables, baked goods and needlecraft on display at the Sooke Fall Fair, in the Sooke Community Hall, Saturday and Sunday.It's the 110th year of the fall fair, a community tradition that continues to evolve, while still embracing the area's agricultural roots.
Back in 1913, when the fair began, "they didn't have gluten-free baked goods, no Lego or digital photographs," said Ida McDonald, vice-president of the Sooke Fall Fair Association, which hosts the event.
Sooke residents can enter their produce and creative efforts in hundreds of categories, from baked goods to needlecraft, photography, stories or artwork, with 50 trophies and 300 other prizes up for grabs.

Sooke Fall Fair back this weekend for 110th yearThe fair expects to attract 4,000 visitors this year, on par with pre-pandemic numbers
Cheer on Sooke's fastest zucchini, admire the scariest scarecrow, enjoy a pet parade or check out the vegetables, baked goods and needlecraft on display at the Sooke Fall Fair, in the Sooke Community Hall, Saturday and Sunday.It's the 110th year of the fall fair, a community tradition that continues to evolve, while still embracing the area's agricultural roots.
Back in 1913, when the fair began, "they didn't have gluten-free baked goods, no Lego or digital photographs," said Ida McDonald, vice-president of the Sooke Fall Fair Association, which hosts the event.
Sooke residents can enter their produce and creative efforts in hundreds of categories, from baked goods to needlecraft, photography, stories or artwork, with 50 trophies and 300 other prizes up for grabs.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Work from home
lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Work from home" in forum "Victoria and South Island Economy".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Labour councils are TWICE as likely to let their staff 'work from the beach' than Tory ones as figures show town halls approved more than 1,350 requests from staff to do their job from abroad
Labour currently controls seven of the top ten councils in terms of the largest numbers of requests approved in the past three years.
This includes Merton Council in south London (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/london/index.html), which approved 251 requests to work from abroad, Islington Council in north London (237) and Leeds City Council (74).
Tory MP Peter Bone said: 'Labour councils cost you more and deliver less.
'Maybe these figures show one of the reasons why. You can get more productivity from people being in the office.'
It comes after the Daily Mail yesterday revealed how hundreds of council staff have been 'working from the beach' (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12476477/HUNDREDS-council-staff-working-beach-WFH.html) – with a ten-fold rise in the number allowed to log in from abroad.
Downing Street yesterday waded into the row over productivity with the Prime Minister's official spokesman saying 'in-office working' should be the 'default'.
