It had been a blistering hot week but for Imagine in the (Gage)Park, there had been a cooling rain the morning of the July 24th event. Gary Barwin, Jean Little, Gillian Chan, myself as well as facepainters, voice coaches, puppeteer and Frontier literacy volunteers were on the site to entertain and delight.
Who comes out for these events? You just never know. Ozo the dog came attached by leash to his master on a scooter. He has appeared on the screen in various roles, Ozo, not his owner. For my audience, some very intense young writers complete with their manuscripts showed wanting to me to share some writing tips. I read some of their work and know they'll be presenting at a festival some time.
I only wish I could have come to one of these events when I was kids.
