Sappyfest 7: Backyard BBQ

Sappyfest 2012

Sackville, NB

Aug. 4, 2012

A candid shot from the backyard gig at Sappyfest 7.  Thanks to the president of Mount A. for letting us use the space!  The cool, soft grass and shade from the nearby trees were enjoyed by all in attendance....gad damn it was hot.

Sappyfest: Hiding from the sun

Sappyfest 2012

Sackville, NB

Aug. 5, 2012

This image was taken on a very, very hot Sunday in August.  As you can see, folks were scrambling for any available shade, especially the small group in the foreground.  It's hard to see, but in the background there is also a large crowd hiding under the shade of a tree.

It was the heat that eventually broke me that day and left me scurrying to the dehumidified coolness of my car as I drove back to the South Shore thinking of diving into the cold Atlantic ocean...

Sappyfest Main Tent

Sackville, NB

Aug. 4, 2012

The warm weather this weekend put me in a summer mood, thought this shot of Sappyfest music lovers wearing shorts might help you remember the glorious month that was August.  Actually, July was pretty awesome as well!

My only complaint from this year's iteration of Sappyfest, no charcoal bbq pits!  FOR SHAME!

Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper: July 28th

I'm seeing lots of hits on the 'ole blog from folks looking for some info on this year's Greenfield Planked Salmon Supper.


From what I have scraped online, it looks like it is held on the last Saturday in July.  For 2012, that is July 28th.


Hope this info helps!


Here's a video I shot with my old point and shoot (apologies for the quality), showing the salmon cooking in front of the open fire.  Yummah!
