Wow. Many thanks to the Chamber of Commerce and what must have been numerous volunteers for Shakespeare Saturday! The intrigue created a lot of fun dialogue early on. The opening of the Bard gallery was just a small hint of what was to come. (Thank you Bill, Chimayo, for the best squash ravioli ever)
The colored ribbons going up last week still did not provide much of what to expect. All those incredible rose petals strewn all over town was the first big clue. How magnificent!
Even still what Saturday had in store was amazing.
The wandering musicians, the number of costumes, the children, the procession, face painting, floral head wreaths, and the number of happy visitors here for Shakespeare weekend was wonderful.
The day was pure joy and quite remarkable. This shop owner was overwhelmed and giddy all day, even limited to the view from my shop. It was the energy this event created on a rainy day in late March that was so special and is so appreciated.
with gratitude for life on Orcas.
