Summerfestivus For the Rest of Us

I love Summerfest! Every year on the weekend before Father's Day a big Art's Show comes to our little Valley. Why here? Mainly because the Snowbirds are here and the weather is so nice you can easily wander around for hours and not get hot, get cranky, or go home empty handed.

There are artist from ALL over the country to the local artist we see at the farmers' market. It always amazes me what people can create, I would love to (1) see the world that way and (2) have the ability to share with everyone my view of the world. Then there are those pieces of "Art" that make you think "What were you on again??"

What is really neat about this show is the artist is there and they have to work on their art at the show. So you can talk to them, see how they do it, what inspired them, it's great for kids (and grown ups) to be exposed to sooo many different types of art mediums.

We didn’t get as many pictures as we would like-who knew artist are a little overprotective of their work??

One of my favorites turned out to be pressed flowers art work. Oh, it was just so pretty! (Sorry, no pics-it just wouldn't capture how cute it was). I had a ton of fun talking with the artist-even Heidi Anne seemed to like it too!

We were there for nearly 2 hours-Heidi Anne only got a little board-but that’s because we really liked the photography-we we’re actually appreciating the art. So she made a game out of going in circles around a nearby tree.

Before we left we had to get our annual “Heidi Anne and Dadda at Summerfest” pic. But first we needed a treat. Heidi Anne picked the food station that was pink and looked like a castle. Which worked out great-they had fresh mini doughnuts and a step stool for kids to watch them be made. Once she was feed-she was our little girl we know and love, full of smiles, kisses, and giggles.
