I spent the weekend at Coney Island, participating in Summerfair Cincinnati.  I had been told it would be big, but the number of booths and the variety of art exceeded my expectations.  It was also laid out like a maze making it quite easy to literally get lost among the arrray of color and artists.  We thankfully did not have rain; however, the sun was merciless on Saturday--especially for those of us who did not have a tree shading our booths.  I would say that the booths became the equivalent of hot boxes all too early in the day.  I kept telling folks (and myself) that it was a free sauna.  Lots of detoxing was happening whether you wanted it to or not.   All is all, it was a great show filled with fabulous folks.  I've really enjoyed getting to know Cincy and its people a bit better.

Those folks in Northern Cincinnati are hardcore about art.  I was there for the Wyoming Art Show this past Sunday and winter happened.  It was cold and rainy and folks just grabbed their rain gear and came on out.  It was fantastic to be able to participate!
