Big Musical Event in St. Peters

We started out the day by taking a meal up to my parents.  We had made a nice stew.  We picked up some strawberries and whipping cream for desert.  Once we got there we made up mashed potatoes (I make really good mashed potatoes).  They really enjoyed that and so did we.  My mom really doesn't like cooking anymore and we did all the clean up as well.

We came home and had a little nap in preparation for a concert in the evening.  Every year, there is an event in St. Peters called "Music Camp on the Canal".  Their website http://www.kitchenrackets.org/. Cape Bretoners love their music. This camp consists of some well known musicians coming for the weekend to put on workshops.  On the Saturday evening, the instructors put on a concert for the community.   There were some really amazing performers including a music instructor from Princeton University, a fiddler who performs around the world and can play the fiddle and step dance at the same time; a lovely young woman who played the fiddle, sang and step-danced.  

The Music Camp on the Canal also organizes an Artisans Market in the afternoon.  We saw so much talent and creativity at the market.  There was a jewelry maker who makes all her jewelry out of used guitar strings and picks, another person made very interesting  "whymzes" made of pebbles, beach glass and driftwood.   There was a sculptor who makes beautiful carvings out of Cape Breton marble. We were amazed at all the talent in the room.

We tried to take a shot of the night-time view from our house.  It isn't very good but it gives you the idea that our night view is almost as nice as our day time view.
