What's On in The Kawarthas!
Serving The Kawarthas Since 1996
Stuart "Stu" Harrison writes a weekly column about business news (published on KawarthaNow.com on Fridays and in the Peterborough Examiner on Mondays) and hosts a business segment every Monday evening on CHEX-TV's Newswatch.
If you are a local musician looking for rehearsal space, then Rawk Space might be your answer. Located in an Industrial Park at 721 Rye Street, the space solves a number of typical problems, including noise complaints, and inconvenient jam times. Rawk Space is owned by City Police officer Jake Friesen, who is apparently no stranger to noise complaints! Many people will know Jake through his charity rock band - Uniform Charlie. The facility will feature a stage, drum kit, lots of equipment, a lounge, high speed internet, a consignment program for gear, and lots more. There is an Open House November 15. Complete details are online at www.rawkspace.com
