Chris Pengelly and Veronica Andersson are realizing their dream in reopening what has to be called a fixture of the County. Visiting the County in the fall of 2006, they fell in love with both the County and Milford. After months of analysis and talking with many people from the County, they purchased the Bistro. Hopefully ready for the long weekend in May, they are planning on bringing a whole new concept in dining experience to the area.

This time, all pro- ceeds above costs will be donated to Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation. The story, originally portrayed in the 1954 movie, was written in script form by Ted Willis in 1957. Adapted from the novel by Richard Gordon about the off duty lives of a group of medical students, this play weaves their happy triumphs and brave failures, love affairs and parties into a many colored pattem. The play provides a good variety of character parts. Simon Sparrow becomes the new roommate of Tony Grimsdyke and John Evans. All three strive to balance medical school, women friends and their fondness for par- tying.
