Queen Victoria Visits Boom Town!

Sep 30, 2012

Queen Victoria travelled across the mighty Atlantic to visit her loyal subjects in Canada. As luck would have it for the citizens of Boom Town, Her Majesty took an interest in “Black Gold”, and planned to visit the little frontier town. Boom Town was in a tizzy, and preparations to receive the Queen were in full swing at Petrolia Discovery Sept. 22nd and 23rd.

A joint fundraiser for the Lambton Young Theatre Players and Petrolia Discovery, Queen Victoria Visits Boom Town was an outdoor event, and involved a colourful cast of Victorian characters, and of course, Her Majesty, Queen Victoria.

“It’s such an honour to welcome Queen Victoria to Boom Town,” exclaimed Director, Nancy Keys. “The town’s folk have been very busy getting ready for the royal visit, and an outdoor concert has even been planned. There has been a little opposition from some of the less ‘respectable’ members of the town, but the Mayor of Boom Town has assured us, that matters will be well in hand for Her Majesty’s visit, and nothing will possibly go wrong.”

Donna McIlmoyle, Manager of Petrolia Discovery, wasn't so sure. “I do have concerns about how Mayor McGillicuddy plans to deal with certain individuals in Boom Town. We’re talking about a fairly rowdy bunch of people, and it would be a terrible shame if anything happened to embarrass the more upstanding citizens of Boom Town, or the Queen. I do confess I am a little worried.”

Queen Victoria’s Visit to Boom Town was celebrated Saturday, Sept. 22nd at 2:00 and 7:00 PM, and Sunday, Sept. 23rd at 2:00 PM.
