The 9th annual Mountain View Arts Festival in Didsbury on Saturday and Sunday highlighted many of the talented artists in the region.
The festival included dancers, storytellers, musicians, handicrafts, painters, potters, carvers and others.
The weather on Saturday was clear and warm, and a little cooler and cloudy on Sunday. There was a good public turnout on both days.
Events were held at the train station, Elks Hall, the museum and elsewhere.
Kathleen Windsor chairs the museum activities for the festival and is a past-president of the Mountain View Arts Society.
“Saturday was fantastic and the weather was great,” said Windsor. “We had more people on the first day in some of our venues than we’ve every had before. Many people came out and had fun.
“Artists at work was packed and the museum was very, very busy. And everybody loved Hope, the therapy horse, on Sunday afternoon at the museum.”
The theme of this year’s festival was What Makes You Smile as organizers recognized the importance of mental health in the community.
