June 21, 2013. Western Head, N.S. Privateer Days.

June 21 to  23 in Privateer Days in Liverpool, Nova Scotia.   It is a grand event.   Three days full of activities, held in the downtown area in several different spots, are enjoyed by folks from near and far.  This afternoon when Gill and I went to check it was was a bee hive of activity.    At three o'clock this afternoon the Entertainment Tent was full.   It has 500 seats plus plenty of empty space for folks to bring their own chairs.   During the day, the entertainment is free but starting at 9:00, it costs a $8.00 cover fee.  

Nova Scotia has more musicians per capita than any other place I know.   Our town is not very big, but there are 36 different groups entertaining at Privateer Days.  And the groups are good.  Quite amazing really!!   There are vendors selling everything from furniture to jewelry to clothing along with lots of food booths.  Tomorrow morning there will be a parade followed by a full day of activities for both young and old.   A champion log roller will put on a demonstration  and an Historic Encampment u at Light House Park.   Every year brings new activities.  The town was full today with everyone in good spirits.   It is a wonderful event for our town of Liverpool.
