Share you favourite Westben moments from the last 10 years!
I remember Brian running around the field after the bulldozer getting the Meadow shaped "Just Right". Watching the crane errect the timbers in a day and a half was so exciting. The timbers were carved over 3 months by Didier Swartz of Lakefield.
So many wonderful concerts over the 10 years... I remember walking outside Barn while a pianist was playing at a Music of the Night concert and I could hear the crickets and smell the evening in the air and it sounded as if the whole Barn was resonating, The Barn was the instrument.
Please share your own memories of Westben!

10th Anniversary Season
Westben is turning 10 this July. This 10th Anniversary Season starts with a Free Concert June 21rst at The Barn. Tickets are going fast. The concert of course will be amazing and I'm hoping all past Board Members, Sponsors, Choir Members (and current ones of course too) and audience regulars and first timers will join in the celebrations. Local businesses and artisans are invited to set up on the meadow for a festive market place. We live in an amazing community and Westben wants to celebrate this and thank everyone who has made this dream possible. See you there!
