The onset of the fall season is the beginning of Sensational Elora.
This year the 11 day festival starts on Oct. 1 with a new event – Art-o-bus – in collaboration with the Elora-Fergus Studio Tour.
Guests will be treated to cocktails at the Elora Centre for the Arts, which is featuring a display of art from each of the members of the Studio Tour, and a bus will then take a private tour to a number of artists’ studios for an up close and personal look at some area productions.
Also starting Oct. 1 will be the beginning of the Elora Empty Bowls and Glasses Project. This year bowls and glasses will be available at Styll Gallery, at the Sensational Elora offices (9 Mill Street East, River Level) and at various artists’ studios during the Elora – Fergus Studio Tour, at the Sensational Elora Grand Gala, and, at the Sensational Elora Soup-off that will be held at Bissell Park on Thanksgiving Oct. 11 from 1 to 4pm.
Organizers said people can pick up their bowls quickly ($25, and every cent goes to assist in alleviating hunger in the community) and bring it to the Soup-off where, for only $15 more dollars diners will have an opportunity to taste all of the competing soups and vote for favourites.
