The third day of the 3rd Annual Dooryard Arts Festival in Woodstock brought sunnier weather than the first day (The Shiretown Blogger was unable to cover any workshops or events on the second day due to a prior commitment). Live art by Dana O'Regan, originally of Debec but now living in Fredericton, and Joss Richer was taking place in the town square. Dana was painting a picture on an old door using acrylic paint, and Joss was building up layers of paper and incorporating old shingles and other recycled materials into his work.

I then walked over to the Picaroons Mainstage tent to listen to a workshop hosted by RiVA Project Coordinator Emily Clark. This workshop taught participants how to play the ukulele.
