Thanx to Karen McKay, we became aware of The Mill Race Folk Festival in Cambridge and went on over to check it out. I was excited to hear live music, especially bag pipes and Irish tunes...however, when we arrived we discovered there were multiple locations to choose from and we were drawn to the stone outdoor amphitheater along the Grand River where some traditional Ukrainian and Welsh music was played. What a lovely setting and a lovely sound.
The boys had some independent time running around checking things out and found a mama and 10 of her baby ducklings! So sweet. Josh wanted to take pics of them and pointed out where the best light would be to take their picture.
We had already been to Adventure Guide, Dumfries Conservation Area and out for dinner, so by time we got to this venue, Matt was really tired. Therefore, we didn't last too long there.
But, long enough to see that we are close to yet another wonderful place with inviting activities, water, gardens and architecture. Especially though, a reminder that there are so many amazingly talented local musicians playing a wide variety of music...and that we should take more time to see them live. You feel more of a sense of community watching and listening to live music with other people. Being outside is a total bonus! I wonder what Karen will find for us next? :)
