Under the tent, circus artist Damkko entertained about forty children and parents as they manipulated flower sticks, Chinese plates and juggling balls. Our make-up artist created real works of art on the faces of the smiling children who proudly strolled around the site. Young and old pedaled the velo-smoothie to create delicious, healthy beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"79144\" src=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/14-maquillage1-8948-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/14-maquillage1-8948-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/14-maquillage1-8948-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/14-maquillage1-8948-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/14-maquillage1-8948-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/14-maquillage1-8948.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"79146\" src=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-maquillage2-8952-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-maquillage2-8952-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-maquillage2-8952-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-maquillage2-8952-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-maquillage2-8952-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/9-maquillage2-8952.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"79148\" src=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/3-velosmoothie_24-8981-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/3-velosmoothie_24-8981-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/3-velosmoothie_24-8981-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/3-velosmoothie_24-8981-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/3-velosmoothie_24-8981-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/3-velosmoothie_24-8981.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"79150\" src=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/15-damkko-9044-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/15-damkko-9044-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/15-damkko-9044-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/15-damkko-9044-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/15-damkko-9044-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sutton.ca\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/15-damkko-9044.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Photos: Mika\u00ebl Theimer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><i class=\"fas fa-utensils\"><\/i> Visitors enjoyed blooming onions, lemonade and cotton candy from Mountain View, as well as mechoui poutine and baked potatoes with mechoui meat from Tente M\u00e9choui &amp; Plus.

However, a number of citizens remained on site to play music, sing and light a campfire: their presence was exceptionally tolerated, even though municipal bylaws prohibit noise-making after 11 p.m., as well as open fires on municipal property. However, the following day, the town received complaints about the cleanliness of the site following these citizen festivities<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only had there been a lot of garbage and bottles left there, as well as chairs and there was still a fire burning in the early hours of the morning. A number of rubbish and recycling garbage containers had been placed on the site, and it would have been easy to dispose of and recycle all the garbage, as well as safely extinguish the fire.
