The year is flying past and there is a
lot coming up to fill the summer. This year Elfworks will again be
demonstrating at the Redpath Waterfront Festival's "The Wharf at
York" presentation.
A lot of familiar faces will be back
including Len the Cooper (Len Heidebrecht), Scott Thornton's
Woodturning display, Darrell Markewitz doing Tinsmithing and
Coppersmithing and Andy Soper doing ropework and sailmaking. I will
be presenting as "The Widow Smith" once again, and doing a
blacksmithing demonstration. There will once again be a fantastic
interactive historically based theatre experience as HTO Park at the
base of Bay St. is turned into a sampling of the historic York of
1813 with townspeople and tradespeople. All this plus 11 Tall Ships
that can be toured - with Brigantines , Full Rigged, Barquentine, and
Topsail Schooners.
So come on down and witness swordplay
and ships and be transported back to 1813 and the time of the Battle
of York....minus the burning and ruin, of course.
The Wharf At York takes place in
Toronto at the bottom of Bay Street at HTO Park from June 20-23,
2013. Thursday and Friday it runs from 11-6, Saturday and Sunday
from noon to 6. If you are able to come out please drop by and say
hello!
