Impression

Arriving early for the event, we spent some time walking through the vendor areas, where hand crafted items were available for sale from a wide array of artists. In the background, a DJ played music.

The main draw for us, and as it is with most of these events, is the artworks. Having arrived early, most if not all the artists were still hard at work and the pieces are still in progress.

Out plan is to go back and scour the area and document the completed pieces. That will come in companion post in a few days.

Volunteers were out in droves and it was well attended and well hosted. a great community event that I hope is repeated more and more!

Please enjoy the images posted here of the event in progress!
