Calling on the Artsy - Board Members Wanted!
The Kawartha Arts Festival has some vacancies on its Board, and we are anxious to find the right people to fill those spots. Following the 30th annual Kawartha Arts Festival in 2019, and just as planning was underway for 2020, COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the event. Undaunted, the committee eagerly looked forward to being able to resume in 2021. In the past 10 months, we have been saddened and diminished by the passing of three valued members of our team.

Easy Family Dining by TheDevineKitchen
A typical dinner at our table is simply prepared fish, colorful vegetables and a starch such as potatoes. We love the Georgian Bay trout available at Willowtree Farms. The delicious pesto slathered over the fish is from Happy Earth Farm. The gorgeous purple potatoes and carrots are from O’Brianview Organic Farm. Both the pesto and vegetables were purchased in town at the Fenelon Falls Farmer’s Market. We finished our meal with an herbed salad from our garden with lots of radishes from our local Mennonite market tossed in homemade vinaigrette.
