Beaver Harbour, Nova Scotia. June 30, 2007:
When Pat Wilson and Kris Wood decided to launch their new book, “Lucky Strike”, they chose the venue of their book for the occasion - the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. As Father Donald, “Lucky Strike’s” winsome priest might have said, “Oh my stars! Oh my soul!” The afternoon turned out to be more like an old-fashioned Maritime kitchen party than a book launch. McCourt's Oceanside Retreat Studio was bulging at the seams as friends, neighbours, tourists, passers-by and the idle curious dropped in. More than fifty people enjoyed home-made cookies, lemonade and the ever-flowing pots of coffee and tea. The fabulous view, the glorious sunny day and the non-stop laughter and conversation kept the party going. By the end of the afternoon, the entire stock of “Lucky Strike” was sold out and pre-orders were taken for the next shipment. As Dawn McCourt, owner of the Oceanside Retreat Studio said, “If we ever do this again, I’m going to have to clone myself. This was the busiest day we’ve ever had!”
