Festivals are Back!

Last summer there were no in-person events or festivals here because of Covid-19. This month they came back, typically modified to limit risk. We aren't "out of the woods" but at least we see a path.

On Saturday we visited ArtFest in Woodstock, VA. Bagpipe music opened the event, which is held outdoors.

We looked at the art displays and even purchased a painting. I was happy and thankful to see some familiar faces! I stopped at Ann Heap's booth and chatted with her.

There was a table with a mosaic in progress. People were invited to add pieces to it. 

My friends Ranger Tom and Ranger Megan of Seven Bends State Park were there. 

The mosaic is a panel of a three-part mural showing people enjoying the nearby Shenandoah River.

Speaking of the river, it was the location of an event on Sunday. The Fish Fry and Float is sponsored by Friends of the North Fork. It was at the Strasburg Town Park.

  5. I attended a festival in North Carolina a couple of weeks ago. It is so great for things to be getting back to normal. I would have like to hear those bagpipes being played. Thanks for linking up and have a great weekend.
