Conlon Farm Recreation Complex is located  at the junction of Conlon and Smith Drive in the Town of Perth.

For two decades, the trees along the Tay River in picturesque Stewart Park in Perth’s downtown district have attracted families and those who want to listen to good music coming from some of the most talented Canadian artists and even performers from abroad. The fact that people attend these concerts without fail every year speaks of the quality of music performed at the venue.

As a way of marking the music festival’s 20th anniversary, the free event’s organizers have put together an impressive roster of talents, most of whom were chosen by the public as certified favorites through the festival’s rich 20-year history. Heather Hansgen, the show’s producer, said that all-time favorites such as Rick Fines, Suzie Vinnick, Lynn Miles, Jenny Whiteley, and a whole lot more will be at this year’s festivities.

In order to stay afloat, the free festival is being supported by over 100 local sponsors, making sure that 1: it stays free and 2: all the fans enjoy it. The festival’s 20^th anniversary wouldn’t be unique without any special events, and that’s exactly what participants this year can expect to see at the venue, with a town crier and birthday cakes among some of the spectacles sure to wow everyone in the family.

The 24th Annual Perth Antique Show runs from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion (26 Beckwith St. E.) inside and along the Tay Canal.

Blues musicians Sue Foley and Peter Karp first came to Perth a year ago to present the show, “He Said – She Said.” Come the 25^th of June, the blues duo will be performing once again at The Studio Theatre, this time with a show better than ever, and a CD to back up their performance.

Foley, who’s fresh from a trip to Europe, said that the upcoming show will be different and better compared to the one last year. Their record was released in March of this year, and has consistently stayed atop the United States blues roots charts for 6 consecutive weeks, Foley proudly added.

For June 25, Foley said she and Peter Karp will be on stage with a full band, complete with drums and an  upright bass. Foley will be on guitars while Karp will be hitting the piano and dobro guitar – making the show more theatrical than it was last year.

This year’s “He Said – She Said” will feature a handful of originals penned by Karp and Foley themselves. The compositions started out as letters written between two artists who corresponded for over a year. As the months went by, the letters became more revealing, and eventually became songs.
