Some views from the North Country Fair


The weekend of June 22-24 saw us playing the North Country Fair. This year's fair seemed a bit smaller than in the past, albeit it was at a new location in Driftpile, Alberta. It was a fairly wet weekend but our spirits were not dampened one bit. Allen Baekeland put on an impressive yodelin' and pluckin' performance in his workshop "Twist of the knife".

The band played two Tribal Fusion belly-dance workshops; one at noon in the pouring rain, featuring "monsoon style" costumes such as rubber hip-waders, and a much sunnier one later in the day, hosted by Ben with guests Paul and Dave from Edmonton. Special thanks to Nancy, Paul and Dave from Vibe Tribe http://www.vibe-tribe.ca/

We had a great crowd at our mainstage performance, lots of dancing including a gorgeous sword dance by Nancy. One lucky little girl went home with free copies of both our CDs, just for being at the right place at the right time ;-).
