5th Annual Purple Onion Festival

This year we enjoyed a warm, bright and sunny day for the 5th Annual Purple Onion Festival held in Millennium Park in Peterborough, Ontario.
















There was only a gentle breeze blowing which allowed us to keep both doors open at the ends of the building is year.
















Once again we were in the space beside the Silver Bean Cafe which worked extremely well for us this year as it did last.














It didn't take us very long to get the show set up and ready for the opening; we kept it pretty much the same as last year.

















By having the tables around the side walls and a row down through the center of the building it created an open and inviting space allowing people to go through the entire display without missing anything.














Cindy and Norma had their artwork down the one side wall and on easels at the front and back of the building.















Susan had her artwork on the center panels facing Cindy and Norma's artwork and had a space at the far end on the opposite side wall for a drafting board so she could demonstrate watercolour painting during the course of the show.
















Diane had her work on the center panel facing the other wall which also held more of her artwork and a variety of art cards and gift items.
















The crowds were larger than last year and we had a steady stream of people going through the show and some returned more than once during the course of the day to look at a favourite painting.
















It was an enjoyable show with lots of live entertainment and each of were able to go around and view all the other exhibits set up throughout the park.

We look forward to returning again next year.
