I volunteered to help out at the Annual Art Fair again this year. Since 2012 I have been a docent and member. My duties over the three day event was essentially to man the Artist Hospitality tent. The weather cooperated and a steady stream of visitors viewed 150 artists work for sale leading up to Mother's Day on Sunday. A robust schedule of live music and lots of food trucks and vendors gave visitors plenty of food options.
I think this was my 12th or 13th art fair in a row. I think it's fair to say I am a credible judge of the overall quality of this year's show. Maybe my favorite thing is the social nature of just being there.
- Perry Drake, Beth Hammond, Donna Jeffries and another lady (former majorette from Fredericktown).
- Stephanie Camden
- John Grizzell and Francesca
- Marie Oberkirsch from Central Print (former LSP)
- Sarah Lorenz - Plein Air Painter
- Neil Brown - Photographer
- Liz Murphy Siense (sp?) with husband Chuck and their little girl. Liz if former LSP employee who went to the Science Museum and recently moved to the Federal Reserve. I asked her what I should do with my pennies. Her response "Hang on to them. It will take an act of congress to eliminate that bit of currency in spite of political pressure." She invited me to schedule a tour.
- Maureen Jennings, Ferda, Mary Hansen former docent colleagues.
When I rise up, let me rise joyful like a bird. When I fall, let me fall without regret like a leaf.
