The Art Show
Jamie Brick is the host and landowner. He does amazing work. He was dressed as The King. I didn't get a photo, as he was quite popular sitting on his throne. He founded Bear Bottom Studio, and created some wonderful artisan shows over the years.

Founded in 1995, it's been going for 27 years, beginning in a smaller location, with only 5 - 12 vendors. They moved to 1380 Draper Lake Rd. There are 10 x 10' clearings, with permanent buildings in some spots. They went up to 80 juried artisans, but reduced the number to 60 for a more cozy and intimate experience.
This is Jamie's work! He built these structures.
The show happens near Perth Road Village in South Frontenac Township at 1860 Draper Lake Road, roughly halfway between Kingston and Westport. The community volunteers, and helps with parking, music, site cleanup, and parking.
Jamie builds on everything every year, one of the artisans told us. He'll add structures, and rebuild.
It begins at the gate.
These figures are created with wire, masking tape and glue of some sort!

Our fearsome foursome flyers have landed in Singapore! It was an epic 19-hour flight. I watched on radar. We texted the odd time, as Singapore Air has onboard wifi. They are here for a few days before taking off to Australia and New Zealand.
