Relax and have fun after the rush all week ....

And the best way to relax in June 2010 is to take in the 10th Annual Kings County Studio Tour.

You're coming because you want a break. All week long you're busy doing things for everyone else. Running here. Running there. Cleaning. Cooking, Working late. But in 2010, June 12 & 13 is time for you. Saturday 10 - 6. Sunday 11 - 5. Because you want ... to have fun. De-stress. Get away. Make a day of it. Bring a buddy. Persuade your partner ....

Imagine seeing local artists in their studios. Peeking through a window into their creative lives. It's almost as if you're a voyeur glimpsing a world normally curtained to outside eyes.

You'll discover one artist that has had his work given as gifts to two monarchs - Queen Elizabeth II and the King of Bhutan. Michelle Obama has even enjoyed his craftsmanship.

Then there's an artist whose creation was given as a wedding gift to Barbra Streisand and James Brolin.

Another uses dog hair in her creations....

Yet another had a Prime Minister of Canada purchase her work.

Our lone photographer had a work purchased by famous actor, William Hurt.

One painter's work was given as a gift to hockey legend, Bobby Orr.

Aren't you curious about their work? Who knew we'd have such prestigious artists in the Kennebecasis Valley?

Start in the morning and see several studios. Take a break for lunch or tea. And then drive to your next destination. Imagine the stress fading away, those tight muscles relaxing as you leisurely journey through New Brunswick's scenic Kennebecasis River Valley.

Travel north. Or travel south. Whatever the direction, it's going to be entertaining, informative, and lively.

June 12-13, 2010. Saturday 10 - 6. Sunday 11 - 5.
