Stewart Park Music Festival 2016

Stewart Park Music Festival => July 14 - 17!

It was packed. We parked in the community, on a back street, although they did have shuttles at a couple of places around.

Up over the new bridge, yes, the one that people have been arguing over. (Haggart Isl. Dam and Bridge repair on the Tay River) <= I snapped some photos of them building it! It's is a delightful little town, Perth!



The streets were very busy! The couple on the bike probably should have chained it up somewhere. Just sayin'. I had to navigate around them as they manoeuvered around the booths and displays. This is why I loathe crowds, and I know I'm not alone!


Somebody was lined up for a 'cookie', and ended up buying a whole brownie, which he did not share!


Do you remember my lovely spider necklace? I get compliments on it everywhere. Sadly, I wasn't wearing it! Here is the young woman who creates them! Elaine Stuart, who has ES Essentials!


Then there is the duck race to benefit YAK, the kids' youth centre. There were peeps everywhere  advertising and selling the duck tickets! Good job! We bought one... here's hopin', wishin', as we could use another storage shed! We dropped off one of our computers for them to use.

Lots continue to swim in the park. I would not! Ear infections, eye infections are the result of e.coli. There have been signs, and they had disappeared. Some controversy around that! It was a bit cool to swim this year. 

E.coli water warning sign to return to Mill Street swimming hole soon

By 2013, testing by the RVCA, the Town of Perth, and the FOTW, in June, July and August, “at various sites along the Tay in Perth, compiled suggests the main e.coli source is from storm water.” 

Lunch

 I like the crossing guard! It's necessary!
The Tay River is lovely through town, Mexicali Rosa has a patio overlooking it.

Trip #44 for healthcare: consult with our GP and lunch

Our GP was very helpful, we are dealing with more information. Still weighing treatment options. Dr. Dan printed out the most recent test results for us. He's the same age as my eldest offspring. Bright, honest, open – he's the future of healthcare. He's quick to schedule us in, experienced and enthusiastic.

After our noon appointment, scheduled two days ago, we went to eat lunch beside the Tay River. Hubby said I could choose. It's a popular spot. Standard food across the chain. The service was good, we were at the tail end of lunch.  It is so peaceful just watching the people and the water go by. No hurry, just relax.

You can see cutlery in the water. It looks strange.
I saw perch, with their shiny bellies flipping around snatching food. Bass, too.

We won a free meal, and visited, eating indoors in Oct., 2010, when we first moved here. One must appreciate the old buildings in Perth. Our town turns 200 next year.

I didn't know the library had solar panels! We've lived here 5 years. sigh.

After this, we took a trip to see L. G. Lee and Sons new store in Almonte. The cats were home in the A/C, resting!
