Horse drawn hay rides, live music, nature walks, children's crafts and beautiful art!  This is what I got to experience when I went to the Clothesline Festival & Art Sale at the Leighton Art Centre.  Despite its remote location, the festival was bustling!  The Clothesline Festival has actually been around for 40 years and was started by Barbara Leighton herself.  Almost all of the artwork there was done by Alberta artists, (most of them residents of the Foothills), and pretty much all of the artists were there to showcase their art.  Lots of people walked away with beautiful purchases.  And I got a wonderful dosage of the Alberta Arts!

 

I'll be back out next weekend, make sure to check out the calendar to see where I'll be hanging out!
