Five minutes before the 7 pm parade start time, the dark clouds passed on by, leaving a clear but cool and windy evening – still much better than rain for Hilton Beach’s Com- munity Night.

W EDNESDAY, AUGUST 21 ST 8 PM She’s a fresh, new vocal talent who is taking the international music scene by storm. Darrelle’s rise to stardom has been helped along the way when she caught the eye and ear of noted Canadian performers like Chantal Kreviazuk, who co-wrote three songs for her ‘Eat a Peach’ album, and Sarah McLaughlan, who chose her as the Toronto Lilith Talent Search winner. Darrelle’s group of devoted fans grows every time she performs.
