Here’s something to ponder … what does it take to construct a Summer Arts Festival? Sure you need the usual suspects … an inviting performance space, a truckload of brilliant performers ready to give their all, a smattering of interesting food options, a dab or two of alcohol, and these days, some weird and wonderful seating options. But there’s one essential ingredient that I’d overlooked until I watched the construction of this years Stirling Summer Arts Festival at Scarborough Beach. Here are a few photos … can you pick it?

Throw in some seats … as long as they don’t resemble a normal seat you’re on trend

So the number one essential ingredient is …. have you picked it?
You may need to go back and have a closer look at the photos.
Clearly it’s a dog.
What construction site doesn’t benefit from the calming presence of a canine?
Enjoy the festival everyone.

Where would we be without the faithful dog. One other thing which was there in abundance, a characteristic of our beautiful city. CLEAR BLUE SKYS. We all look forward to a successful festival
Ah VERY good point. Something we take for granted once summer hits.
