On June 13, 2007, two members of Annapolis Royal Town Council, Councillors Phil Roberts and Ron Boulding, the Town Crier and his escort, Peter and Val Davies, and members of the Musique 400 troupe are heading to Annapolis, Maryland for the Kinships and Windships weekend. This event is a predecessor to the celebrations being planned for 2008 that will see over 4 million people visiting Annapolis, Maryland for that City’s 300th anniversary. The Bluenose 11 will arrive at 9:00 a.m. on June 14, and it is expected that the Speaker of the Nova Scotia Legislature, the Honourable Cecil Clark, as well as members of the Annapolis Royal and Annapolis County delegation

Musique 400 is a group of costumed, strolling minstrels that plays music and performs dances from the 1600’s when Sieur de Mons and Samuel Champlain arrived and founded Port Royal.

While there, the group will tour the US Naval Academy, State House and Paca Garden. They will also attend a reception at the National Sailing Hall of Fame with local performers and various VIPs, hosted by Mayor Ellen Moyer. On June 15, they will take the Discover Annapolis Trolley Tour and learn more about an anniversary tapestry project patterned off the tapestry on display at Fort Anne. Later that evening, the group will participate in an informal evening of music at the Castlebay Irish Pub. The final scheduled event will involve seeing off the Bluenose at 9:00 a.m. on June 16, 2007.

The group will be representing the province, the County of Annapolis and the Town of Annapolis Royal at this event. This project was made possible through a contribution from the Province of Nova Scotia, the services of Trans World Tours & Travel, and an in kind contribution from Musique 400. The group also wishes to acknowledge the strong efforts of our sister City, Annapolis, Maryland, and especially the Special Assistant to the State Fire Marshal for the invitation and all of the logistics support.
