Opening ceremonies, Weaving Words Festival, Sharon
Yesterday I attended Weaving Words, a storytelling festival held at the Sharon National Historic Site and Museum. This year the event opened with a drum circle, which I really enjoyed.
Georgina Drum Circle
Can you hear the drums? I can can still hear the rhythm and my feet are still tapping.
Audience participation
Georgina Drum Circle brought along some extra drums, which they allowed members of the audience to play.
Many in the audience joined in the fun

Looks like it was a lovely fall day. Enjoy the close-up of the drums.
If I was that little girl's parent, I'd want a copy of that photo to hang on my wall. Wonderful!
What a nice setting and seating for autumn! The steady beat of the drums seems like a great way to clear the mind to begin the word weaving that must have ensued.
this is a nice series of pictures. I like the movement in them. Looks like fun.
Fun, fun, fun and so many drums!
What a fun event! Well captured.
I can hear them from here!
PS: Just wanted to say that I have always enjoyed your blog. You gave me lots of ideas of things to see and do when I was a wee newcomer to Canada. :)
Hope you'll take a look when I'm in Berlin.
Wow! I would have loved the whole day. You have caught a great look of consentration on that child's face.
that little girl is beautiful and I am listening to a drum circle on youtube. i love drums, but could not find weaving words circle.
that looks neat!
Love the decorations and arrangements they have put up!

A very colourful series of photos on a lovely fall afternoon. I thought the little girl was a statue at first as her face is so smooth and serene.
Drumming seems to be quite popular these days.
I can imagine some foot tapping was inevitable. If they sound as good as they look you must have had a great day out.
What a neat event! Love the shot of the little girl.
I can hear them! Your photos have really brought them to 'life'!
FUN! and you've got some nice autumnal colors going on there!!
Great post, leading up to a Great Photo!
Aloha
Fantastic ~ I have a drum ~ wish you near by ~ Great photos ~ carol
That drum circle looks like fun.
Bab-a-ba-rum bum bum bum bum! Never heard of a drum circle, although I've been drummed out of a few circles - usually the more elite one!
Methinks everyone had a good time but now my feets are bouncing too! :)
Looks like a lovely drumming session!
What fun! Love that last shot- what a cutie@!

Great shots. Looks like something I'd enjoy going to.
That is a fun event! Nice captures!
I like this and I bet it sounded great!
Looks like a great day to enjoy the sounds of the drums.
I've been to one drum circle and they also had a lot of percussion instruments including drums and such that they encouraged the audience, especially children to use and join in. Great experience.
What a great event. You've captured it nicely. I especially like your first and last photos.
must have been such fun!
What a lovely experience! And it looks like a wonderful autumnal day.
What a great event, and your pictures are beautiful!Gorgeous sunny day and the kids are adorable!

There's something very appealing about the drum beat I think EG.. Looks like a lot of fun!
I would have loved to have been there. How exciting. I bet you do still hear and feel the beat. MB
How fun! What a great photo op for you.
