The cat's away, time to play - 4-day arts and entertainment outlook

Well, the hep cat is officially out of town.

SooToday.com Arts and Entertainment Editor Chris Belsito is on a musical pilgrimage with fellow Saultites Catherine Taddo and Lindsay Pugh as part of the Elemental Tour.

This means the Arts and Entertainment page and photoshop is ours to do what we please with.

*Very Big Evil Laugh!*

The cat is away, so go out and play on the town this weekend.

And when the tour comes through town with a stop at Loplops on June 23, be sure to go say hi to the cat's meow, and Belsito too.

If you have any other arts-related events or activities that you would like to add to our page, email us at shria@shaw.ca
