4th Annual Purple Onion Festival

Today we set up a show at the Purple Onion Festival held in Millennium Park in Peterborough.
















We were fortunate in that we had gotten all of our paintings inside the building before it started to rain.













I felt sorry for some of the exhibitors who had to go through high winds and a torrential downpour during the morning hours that caused a couple of tents to collapse due to the amount of rain that fell during a very short time and the high winds.













By noon the sun came out and the temperatures climbed to 66F (19C) and the crowds came out to enjoy the Festival.














We had a wonderful time at the Festival. Each of us took turns going out to enjoy the exhibits, sample the wonderful foods that were available in the cook tent and make purchases of the various produce available.













Cynthia Allan and Susan Sydney spent much of the afternoon painting. Cindy demonstrating landscape painting in oil, while Sue worked on various small paintings in watercolour of flowers, landscape and animals.














The live entertainment was wonderful, with a lot of variety in the performances, which drew large crowds through out the day.











At the end of the day, we were asked if would would consider returning again next year. Our response was a resounding - YES!

I will post the date for next year as soon as it becomes available.
