Harmony Arts - Kids' Day

WEST Vancouver's 10th Annual Harmony Arts Festival came to a close this weekend after just over a week of wonderful activities, music, arts and crafts. The popular August event is almost always blessed with good weather and good crowds and this year was no exception. Saturday was Kids' Day at the festival and the atmosphere was circus like. Games, stories, dancing, face painting, singing and interactive art projects were all part of the fun. And who says big kids weren't allowed to play along as mums and dads joined in with pleasure.


Omid Kazemi (left) and his big brother Arman brought their new puppy "Chocolate" down to the park for an outing.	Ten-year-old Sage Massey (left) and eleven-year-old Kayla Buchanan are a couple of scooter cuties.	Making new friends with a pinky shake was five-year-old Breanna Caruth and six-year-old Kathleen Benke.	BIG Little Marielle Caruth had her faced painted like a dalmation doggy. Then she and mom Linda enjoyed some time together on the swings.	Too cool two-year-old Benjamin Duggan came to the festival with grandma Anne Trory.

Othman Lasim sat with two-year-old granddaughter Sofia Osborne on his knee.	They're just a bunch of West Vancouver "beach boys". From left: Simon Louw, Calvin Roex, little Josh Louw (at back) and Travis Roex.	Eleven-year-old Shabnam Sotoudeh was a festival volunteer in charge of the "Name Game".	Shabnam Antikchi (left), Doreen Dibadj (centre) and Shahrzad Pedram were some of the young volunteers helping out at Kids' Day.	Tamsyn Loat (centre-front) and her brother Richard (left) brought Japanese exchange students Hideaki Negishi (centre) and Kenta Nohara (right) to the park to see all the action.

Summertime is the best time for ice cream as Keegan (left) and Braden Varney will testify.	Eight-month-old Rael Abbondanza may be young, but she and mom Amanda sure enjoyed the music.
