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.

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)
• 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.
