ARTS ON THE FLY SUCCESS OF
EVENT 2006
The Horsefly School grounds
played host to Arts on the Fly
Music and Dance Festival on July
8, 2006. After the blood, sweat
and tears of orchestrating an
event with just a membership of
7, Arts on the Fly 2006 was a
success! Gratefully, many
community members and even some
who lived in other areas stepped
forward, to donate their time
before and on, the 'day of'.
About 400 visitors enjoyed
themselves here in Horsefly on
July 8th. Children of all ages
flocked to the 'Imagination
Station', where their hula-hooping
and face-painting dreams came
true! There was a dress-up
parade which wound its way
through the crowds during a
break. Vendors sold their wares,
some with handmade creations. If
you are artistically
inclined...or not, and would
like to sell items, edible or
not, on our Arts on the Fly
Marketplace, please
'click
here' and get in contact
with our Vendor Co-ordinator
Hilda Orange.

Our talented performer
line-up, with its diversity
of musical genres from out
of the area, were Outlaw
Social (Bluegrass),
Yael Wand (Folk), the
skedaddlers (Old-Time
Music with a Twist) and
Clann Cara (Celtic).
Bloodties (Rock)
Carmen and Friends
(Folk), Plan 'B'
(Blues/ Rock) and Geoff
Patenaude with Chris Elwick
(Folk) made up the local
contribution.

'Decked out in her finest,
Christina Mary brought colour to
Arts on the Fly 2006. Together
with another young-at-heart
volunteer, she (wo)manned the
'Imagination Station'. John
Bottomley of the skedaddlers in
background, he who raised Cain
onstage with fireball Wyckham
Porteous.' |

 Horsefly's own In The Works
Dance Studio wowed with Jazz
and Ballet. Lovely Veronika
Plamper excelled in the
sinuous art of Middle Eastern
Dance.

'Clann Cara' out of Prince George
BC, fulfilled our Celtic portion of the Festival.
They will be returning for July 6 & 7 2007! |
'As dusk began to show off its
cobalt hues, the energy levels were stirred to new heights with
the introduction of Victoria BC's Bluegrass bunch, 'Outlaw
Social'. |
'With a purity of voice, Yael Wand
out of Smithers, BC charms festivalgoers with her lyrical Folk
creations. |

'Carmen Mutschele and Pauline
Williams face the festival crowd to reveal their talents.' |
'Nora Nicol and Nancy LeBourdais,
Horsefly 'lifers', huddle together under an umbrella. As with
all other outdoor events, Arts on the Fly was at the mercy of
Mother Nature. Rain fell throughout late afternoon, intermittent
with blessed moments of sunshine. |
"Music? Not for me, when I have
something better!" Tuning everything else out, Soul focuses on
his chocolatey object of desire on festival grounds.'
