Sandycove continues to beam with pride with the talent of our residents from the Photography and Art clubs who put on a great show & sale each year, to the many residents who sell their handiwork in the annual Fall Craft Show which is one of the highly anticipated events for Barrie and Innisfil residents to attend prior to Christmas.
The entrance to the Sandycove Woodshop is adorned with a large custom made Totem Pole created by the Woodcarvers club. Our latest display of talent is by Robert Jenkins, a north park resident who has taken his chain saw to carve animals, birds and tree spirits into old trees throughout Sandycove. Robert drew a lot of attention lately as cars slowed down to view the newest carving in progress at the South Park
Robert’s previous carving of a black bear & tree spirit in the North Park continues to be a great hit as residents and staff alike enjoy walking by to admire the carving. Who knows what animals lay hidden in the trees throughout our community, only time will tell, we do know that when the scaffolds go up and the buzzing sound of chain saw starts again, crowds will drop by to see another beautiful piece of outdoor art appear in Sandycove.
Maybe it is the appealing surroundings of our small town rural setting that draws artists and inner talent to emerge. We do know Sandycove Acres is a vibrant community of talented & passionate people.
