A demotivational 4-day arts and entertainment outlook

We at Sootoday's arts and entertainment page are lacking the necessary motivation to come up with a clever introduction for our 4-day arts and entertainment outlook (courtesy of the Arts Council of Sault Ste. Marie and District). So we decided to take our early morning pessimistic outlook and try to spread it around. If you feel more even an iota more motivated than our drones at the arts and entertainment page, then go out and take in some of the great entertainment around the Sault this weekend. Your options are varied, from the Matadors at the Downbeat to the Lost Loon Festival in Hilton Beach to that sloth Belsito's CD/DVD release party at the Windsor Park Imperial Ballroom.

If you have any other arts-related events or activities that you would like to add to our page, email us at [email protected].

(We will be updating this guide throughout the day)
