Nick Anest was born in Midland in 1929 to Greek immigrant parents who ran The Midland Candy Works.  The people of Midland knew Nick Anest as the proprietor of “Uptown Billiards”.

On June 17th we will celebrate Nick Anest, the amateur photographer, who recorded life in his hometown.  Nick’s photographs captured Midland in an historical and artistic light.  They captured the simple joys of the adults and children who lived in the town.  We hope that this exhibit will be seen as a celebration of pride in our town and of Canadian multiculturalism.

Photographic exhibit opens Friday, June 17, 2011 at 7:00 pm and runs until Monday, June 27, 2011.
