Saturday, June 21

Today marked the beginning of the First Annual Coast Fest. This festival will travel down the Lower North Shore. Its intention is to celebrate the numerous cultures found here by displaying local artisans' craftwork, having barbeques, and dancing.

The sun made a rare appearance today for the event. About 100 people showed up. There was music playing by locals, along with Frances, a QLF intern. I noticed the kindness and hospitality of all the people of Blanc Sablon. They actually came up to me, along with the other interns, and introduced themselves. Everyone in the town knows everyone, so when they see new faces (a rarity) they go out of their way to greet you.
