by offering "Under The Trees",an
opportunityto sing,danceor listento
a story in an unamplifiedarea. In
1976,a stage was devotedsolelyto
the children'sconcerts.Programmed by Lois Liliensteinand Sharon
Hampson,these concerts set the
standardfor children'sareasat other
festivafs.ln'1977,the PlayArea was
added adjacent to the Children's
Stage.This providedchildrenwithan
opportunity to play with puppets,
dance around a maypole,dressup,
join in a playparty,or playa varietyof
games. In 1978,a Children'sCraft
Centre was added next to the Play
Area. This was a place where

WADE HEMSTII'ORTH
Wade Hemsworth, the bard ol Morin Heights, Quebec, occupies a
specialplace in the ranks ot Canadian songwriters. His travelsthrough
northern Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland provided him with a
remarkable reryrtoire of traditional songs and a range of experiences
that have found expression in his own writing.
"The Blacklly Song" and "The Log Drivers'
Hls songs, including
and are sometimeseven thought to be
standards
Waltz",have become
traditional themselves.rt is easy to trace the musical rcots of many of
"folk"
songwriterc to the work of this
this country's most popular
influential artist, who has done so much to create and promote a truly
Canadian songwriting style. Mr. Hemsworth wasone ot the pertormers
who appeared at the first Mariposa Folk Festival.We are honoured to
be able to present him again this yeat.
