Arts Without Borders

This past Saturday my daughter and I went to the big city (little chuckle here) but it is Canada's only border city so it does have that claim to fame. An organization called Arts Without Borders were putting on a Summer Street Fair. We really enjoyed it, lots going on and the weather was unusually bright and sunny - haven't had much of that this spring. The areas local artists displayed their work in several locations and vendors with greenhouse selections, jewelry, quilts, handmade fabrics from Pakistan... even puppies and kittens from the SPCA were in attendance on the streets and parking lots in the closed off section of downtown. Buskers on street corners, cotton candy, corn dogs, popcorn, really cool restored vintage cars on display. A large stage was set up in another parking lot with lots of tables for relaxing and enjoying a wide variety of entertainment. It was fun - a good afternoon. Oh yeah, and my daughter got a henna tattoo, isn't it great ?  I'd love to see what this lady could do with a slip trailer and some greenware.( photo credit to Caela)

We live about half way between Lloyd and another city The other city has a Casino and the arts and culture scene in that city has been killed by that casino.So, yes, kudos to the Arts without Borders committees !
I see on the news that Maple Creek and Medicine Hat are now receiving home deliveries of clay. How is your family making out ?
