It’s that time of year when any gardener who planted zucchinis in the spring is looking for friends, enemies, anyone really, to dump share a fabulous crop of zucchinis with. In celebration of the abundant fall harvest, the village of Millbrook, near Peterborough, Ontario, hosts an annual Zucchini Festival.
The Festival features exciting events such as the Kate and Will Zucchini Look-Alike Contest. Music at this year’s festival was provided by Blind Dog George, of which the festival website has this to say:
Once more the Zucchini Festival hosts band Blind Dog George. Steeped in the blues with a healthy nod to The Band, the boys will be serenading our festival goers from 12 p.m. until the boat races begin. Pull up a pew and enjoy!
Seabrooke attended the festival and made the following recording of Blind Dog George. You may recognize the violin player, none other than our own Fiddlegirl.

If I could pick just one talent, it would be the gift of music, and your fiddlegirl has it in full measure.
Sheri — Pretty good — your daughter has talent. The background voices sounded like there were many folks listening to the music. I imagine there are quite a few creative zucchini contests at such an affair — barbara
It was a fun little festival. I really enjoyed the live music, and thought they did a great job considering they only got together a couple times to practice in advance that month. I was so into the performance, in fact, that I forgot I was sitting in full sun when the sun came out from behind the clouds halfway through, and ended up with a sunburn.
Louise, I would have liked to be more musical too. I don’t play any instrument. I enjoy playing vicariously now through my daughter!
Barbara, thank you. Her main ‘gig’ is playing violin with the Peterborough Orchestra. It does sound like there is a good crowd just out of sight, doesn’t it? Not the best circumstances for a recording, but it was a fun day for the band.
Seab, thanks for the video and input!
