Post 355: PWAS at Occoquan RiverFest 2023

PWAS at Occoquan RiverFest 2023

The Prince William Art Society has been active in participating in the Occoquan Arts and Crafts Festivals for many years and this year we took part in the June RiverFest Arts and Crafts show.

A Great Weekend in Occoquan!

PWAS can generally be found on Union Street since I've been a member of PWAS beginning in early 2021. We've been on both ends of the street and now both sides of Union Street. For RiverFest, we were on the corner of Union and Commerce and boy, was Saturday HOT!! Not as hot as the day before but we were all baked. Sunblock was shared by all.

Sunday was MUCH cooler, partly cloudy. We had a good weekend and no, that was NOT thunder around 3:00 on Sunday. That was a sonic boom from some jets scrambled because of an incident over Washington DC.

Looking down Union Street to Mill Street. We especially enjoyed the puppies with booties to protect their paws

 

Definitely need a person in front of the tent! Kelly Haneklau is pictured being our PWAS "hawker" handing out Open Space Arts Gallery and show flyers
