Area Historical Society, The Huntsville Art Society and The Huntsville/Lake of Bays Chamber of Commerce. The
partner groups, known as the station masters, obtained an annual lease for the former CN Rail Station located at 1
Station Rd from the Town of Huntsville to operate the space as a Cultural Hub. The Huntsville Art Society is currently
showing their first member exhibit in this space under the new name of the Signal North Gallery. The space is open
every Wednesday to Sunday from 11:00 am - 5:00 pm and we encourage you to check it out and to send your
customers, staff and visitors to do the same.
12. GIRLFRIENDS’ GETAWAY WEEKEND – NOVEMBER 7-9, 2014
Planning is well under way for the eighth annual Girlfriends’ Getaway Weekend (GGW). This year we are enticing the
ladies with an exciting concert on Friday evening, and a Classic Rock double-bill dance party on Saturday night. Past
weekend headliners have included Chantal Kreviazuk, Jann Arden, Amanda Marshall, and Pat Benatar. This event has
grown from hundreds of participants to an annual attendance of several thousand out-of town visitors. Women of
all ages come to our community for a weekend of shopping, entertainment, and workshops. Accommodators,
restaurateurs, and merchants are encouraged to create events and packages that engage guests and offer them a
memorable experience. There are many opportunities to get involved – create a package, plan an event, buy an ad
in the official handbook, or become a sponsor. For details about how to get involved contact Leanne Fetterley,
Signature Event Coordinator at [email protected] or 705-789-4771 x 34.
