As it was the weekend of the annual "Gemboree" in Bancroft, we decided to venture north to see what was going on. It was about one and a half hours drive from Belleville.

The Gemboree is great for rock hounds and jewelry craftspeople. There was even a "rock climbing" wall for kids.
The Bancroft Arts and Crafts Guild put on a show in the Memorial Park, Bancroft, which is a lovely scenic location on the banks of the river. There weren't very many artists, but several of them were good painters. Check out Cheryl Ellenberger- she owns the Red Dog Studio in Bancroft.
It was nice to see a couple of art students trying to make a few bucks. They did some good work and hopefully have a great career in the art related world ahead of them.
Oh, I forgot to mention that this was all accompanied by some lively jazz from live bands on stage.
