Along with 20 talented local artists and vendors, the horticultural society is holding a gigantic plant sale that promises to offer a treasure trove of garden variety plants for those looking to enhance their flower gardens.
The Massey-Walford Horticultural Society is well known in the area for its annual flower shows as well as for planting flowers at the Heritage Park in Massey, the public library and the post office. The horticultural society has been active in beautifying the Massey/Walford area for 59 years. Their participation in the Art in the Park is sure to be an added plus for those attending.
Local artists and vendors include Marlena’s Crafty Creations, Happy Camper Soap Co., Huron Shores Bedding, Wild Soul Handmade, Popeye Lane Preserves and Creations by Kayla. As well there will be an information table on the Massey Agricultural Society. Local artist Emily Morin will be showcasing her artwork at the event. Dianne Emiry will be returning this year with her ever-popular ‘Musical Zoo,’ an interactive display of musical instruments from around the world. Other artists and musicians will be announced before the event.
Aside from the detailed planning and the establishment of an outdoor event such as the upcoming Art in The Park at the Mouth Park in Massey, organizers are tasked with many other jobs. Jobs include setting the date for the event, getting the word out to the public, and perhaps most important of all, finding, booking and scheduling artists to perform or display their wares at the event. This is no easy task. Friends of the Mouth group has tackled the job again this year and are all set with performers, vendors, artists and crafters scheduled for the second annual Art in The Park at the Mouth Park in Massey.
With the founding organizer Jayson Stewart moving out of the area this month, Lindie Wither-Weston has been handed the reins from Stewart to continue the event. Wither-Weston is inviting everyone to come out the Mouth Park on Saturday, June 18 to enjoy the beauty of the park and wander around the many set ups of artists and vendors. It promises to be a fun-filled day for everyone.
Anyone wanting to participate with their talents either as an artist, a musician, or a vendor may contact Lindie Wither-Weston at friendsofmouthpark@gmail.com or 519-820-9298.

The Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House has reopened its doors to the public after a fire swept through the historic building in central London. While the gallery has resumed operations, the rest of the iconic site remains closed “until further notice.”
On Saturday, approximately 125 firefighters were called to the scene to battle the blaze, which sent smoke billowing across the city. Fortunately, the fire occurred in a part of the building not housing valuable artworks, and no injuries were reported. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire.
Despite the disruption, art lovers queued outside the gallery before it reopened at 10:00 BST on Sunday. One visitor expressed his relief, saying, “I was sad to see the fire, but I’m relieved the art is safe.”
The Clark family, visiting London from Washington state, USA, had a unique perspective on the incident. While sightseeing on the London Eye, they watched as firefighters tackled the flames. Paul Clark, accompanied by his wife Jiorgia and their four children, shared their concern for the safety of the artwork inside Somerset House. “It was sad to see,” Mr. Clark told the BBC. As a fan of Vincent Van Gogh, he was particularly relieved to learn that the painter’s famous Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear had not been affected by the fire.
Blaze in the West Wing
The fire broke out around midday on Saturday in the west wing of Somerset House, a section of the building primarily used for offices and storage. Jonathan Reekie, director of Somerset House Trust, assured the public that “no valuable artefacts or artworks” were located in that part of the building. By Sunday, fire engines were still stationed outside as investigations into the fire’s origin continued.
About Somerset House
Located on the Strand in central London, Somerset House is a prominent arts venue with a rich history dating back to the Georgian era. Built on the site of a former Tudor palace, the complex is known for its iconic courtyard and is home to the Courtauld Gallery. The gallery houses a prestigious collection from the Samuel Courtauld Trust, showcasing masterpieces from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. Among the notable works are pieces by impressionist legends such as Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, and Vincent Van Gogh.
Somerset House regularly hosts cultural exhibitions and public events, including its popular winter ice skating sessions in the courtyard. However, for now, the venue remains partially closed as authorities ensure the safety of the site following the fire.
Art lovers and the Somerset House community can take solace in knowing that the invaluable collection remains unharmed, and the Courtauld Gallery continues to welcome visitors, offering a reprieve amid the disruption.
