Musical sale
It's the only combination garage sale and concert on the Coast. This Saturday starting at 9 a.m., the Sunshine Coast Community Orchestra holds their annual fundraising sale at Roberts Creek Elementary School. The youth orchestra will be playing Olympic-themed music and you can also browse and buy to the tunes of the Suncoast concert band.
Artist showcase
As a labour of love, artist Paula O'Brien put together a terrific free directory of Coast artists last fall at www.sunshinecoastartists.org. She wanted to raise the public's awareness of local talent and help artists to network. Her most recent project is a YouTube slideshow that also showcases Coast artists and is available to be shared with visitors. When you enter the website, click on slideshow to view.
