Art at Aurelia

 The second annual Art at Aurelia arts and crafts festival, sponsored by PATH arts organization was a good experience with pleasant weather, people, music and more.  We could only participate on Saturday of this year, but hopefully next year will be able to be there both days.  

The event is held on the grounds of historic Aurelia in Addison, PA.  Joan Whetsell tells the history of Aurelia, Addison and the National Road, and her plans to expand the event into a combination of history, art and music next year.  

It's definitely worth a visit, traditionally held the first weekend of August.   Here are some photos from the event, along with a couple of sketches I worked up that afternoon.   

 

Our display in a great tent provided by PATH.

Kentucky Mandolin

Thanks to my new Bluegrass Calendar, I now know that Bill Monroe recorded "Kentucky Mandolin" on this date in 1967.   You may have seen this one already, but if not, here is my version.
