What a great day we had on Main Street with all the fanfare for Happy Antigonish Day! Stores decorated their windows and yellow balloons were everywhere. Pharrell Williams HAPPY song was piped out onto Main Street by Robotnik Computers. Customers enjoyed tax free shopping all day and Aphrodite was hopping! That night we had a huge turnout for the HAPPY Fashion Show at People’s Place Library. Below are some photos that tell the story from the perspective of my camera before I had to go off and MC the show. More to come from Denise Davies who covered the event with still and video cameras. Gavin Fraser with ACALA TV was shooting video all day and night and our very own Antigonish Happy video is now in the works. Can’t wait to be part of the HAPPY from community on You Tube! BTW Gavin went out early this morning (Thursday May 1) and got footage of John Hamilton piping in the fishermen starting their lobster season at Arisaig wharf.
Thanks to all the downtown merchants and who supported this event. A special thanks to Andrew MacIsaac, son of Beautiful boutique owner Denise MacIsaac. Andrew and his sister painted all the HAPPY signs on the windows and then Andrew masterfully prepared and delivered all the music for the fashion show. And he’s still in high school! I’d also like to thank the downtown restaurants that the delicious donated platters of food. Without a doubt the spirit of our Main Street is alive and well!
And thanks to my brilliant models; Jana Wilkie, Maureen Fraser. Lily Carty, Jenna Peters and Noella Murphy. You are all beautiful!
