kudos galore for incredible cast & crew
The overwhelming positive response to Fern Martin’s Spinning Yarns: The Millworkers’ Musical made it a smash hit in Mississippi Mills.
In fact, there was so much enthusiastic feedback on social media that it was difficult for me, as the show’s publicist, to capture all the wonderful comments.
This is a sampling of the kinds of things people said on Facebook:

- The cast and crew of Spinning Yarns blew us away with this beautiful, generous, creative, stirring, funny, informative and all-round slick production. We expected to have a fun afternoon cheering on our dear friend as he bravely bonded with his new small town community. We had no idea we were in for a wise, warm and flawlessly executed piece of history-in-the-making. I have no doubt this crackerjack new musical will be carried into the future by generations of courageous and creative Almontonians to come, shaping the community as it goes. Bravo!!!!!! ~ AR

We moved to Almonte in 2020 so being able to learn about the history of Almonte and the significance of the mills and textile museum through song, dance and plenty of humour was actually fantastic. Bravo to the cast, crew and everyone else involved in this awesome production. Your hard work did not got unnoticed ~ DC
