Our family loves the biannual arts festival. We have commissioned several works of art for our cottage and the condo in New York from artists we have met at the festival. Nothing tops off a long day of art shopping better than a late lunch at Jaleo.

Ignoring the fictional satirical comments, in reality this is a great Art Fest.

A beautiful show of creativity and talent. It's a must for us. If you haven't gone before, try it this year.
We could all stand a little enchantment and joy in our minds.

Poppy stop linking your site, it hasn't been updated since May

This art fest looks like a great move on a hopefully crisp fall day

Seriously, Poppy, enough. Or should we just call you Bob?

Poppy knows too much about progressive stuff to be Dyer. Probably just a mid-level male exec who lives in Chevy Chase and is impersonating the "life" of his stay-at-home housewife.

I've found the Arts Fest kind of boring. Mostly vendors from Pennslyvania and beyond, and artwork is only OK. Maybe I just don't know how to appreciate it.

ooops. Didn't mean to infer Dyer. Sorry, Robert.
In our household, we use "Bob" if we don't know someone's name. A long story involving a Scottish bloke, an Irish bar, lots of alcohol and "Bob's your uncle." Ya had to be there.

Anyway, I agree with you. Except you probably do know how to appreciate art and don't realize it.

Robert - the art festival should have music too. Music is art, after all (see for example the numerous "Music & Arts" stores). Do you think they would be receptive to you playing Bay of Pigs?
