Southworks Day one

The following are photos taken at the Southworks Festival at the Oconee Cultural Arts Festival in downtown Watkinsville Saturday.

House 113th District Republican candidate Hank Huckaby was making the rounds but I swear I did not see him shake a single hand the entire afternoon.

The Oconee School of Rock's senior class performed at the end of the day, including a loving rendition of the Oasis' hit "Wonderwall." Owner Charlie Garrett helped tutor his students and lead the musical performance. They offer lessons down on School Street for kids of all ages at Full Moon Studios at the corner near Second Street in Watkinsville. The drummer is the brother of the greatest defensive soccer player I have ever coached.

OCAF members instructed kids in how to make books and decorate CDs, including Pat Adams who nurtured these talented young ladies in the fine art of how to glue stuff on compact discs to make them infinitely more attractive.

Super realist painter Otto Lange was showcased inside the 1902 OCAF Center and the whimsical title of this familiar Batman and Robin piece was "Ever Thought You Have Chosen the Wrong Vocation?"

OCAF queen of the festival Kathleen McQuiston answered questions of this shopper of the many tents of artists at the Southworlks festival. The festival continues tomorrow 10 am to 5 pm near Rocket Field in the heart of Watkinsville.

There were not nearly as many vendors this year as there were competing festivals and other events in Athens and Watkinsville.
