Scariff Harbor Festival

This bank holiday weekend, Scariff was a very lively town during the Harbor Festival. Things started off with a concert by Mary Black on Friday evening. A number of people from the Camphill Community attended, and all enjoyed her music. We also had a stall at the main square on Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately, it was a rather wet weekend and we were unable to display some of our woven goods( made in our own weavery).

Those who had the chance to see what we had for sale showed genuine interest though, and we had many good conversations as a result. Meanwhile the festival went on all day and night. There was a busking competition and there were cooking lessons and crafts activities (blacksmithing, spinning wool, woodworking, basket making, etc) by CELT.

There were activities by youth groups and other civic groups too. There was even a free boat ride from the river to Lough Derg.Finally, there was an open concert by ASLAN Saturday night. Some of us would have stayed all day and all night if we could have! Anyway, after such a busy weekend, we are back to work, hopefully not too exhausted by the weekend...
