Well after 4 flights, 1 ferry ride and 20 shows we made it home from the first leg of our tour. We were so impressed with The International Children's Festival in St. Albert, Alberta. We met some wonderful people and were treated so well... and there were plenty of great dancers! The only slight struggle we had was with the weather. Being on the outdoor stage, we were exposed direcly to the sun....and boy oh boy did it get hot. The average tempature over the 5 days was about 29 degress and at last count we saw only 2.5 clouds...but we loved the challenge annnnd the mild sun stroke. Harry the Parrot was also feeling the heat but recovered nicely when he found out he had made his first newspaper cover.
He felt like the Rockin Roll King.
One of the highlights of the week came on the last night of the festival during the Finale. We were asked to join some of the incredible international groups in one final show where they displayed a taste of what they have been up to all week. It was fantasic. Here's us with Rick Scott after the final show.....
After a little howling we then jumped on a plane made it back to our little airport in Hamilton Ontario.
We are now getting ready to head to Perth Ontario (Taes' hometown) for a show on Saturday at the Studio Theatre. I'm sure we will see a lot of familair faces.
Hope everyone is enjoying the outdoors and finding time for a little music and dancing! Talk to you very soon. Same place? Same Time? Keep Rockin
Love Taes and Nick
