Fur In The Paint

We got back mid afternoon on Sunday. For those quick witted among you, you’ve probably guessed that yet again we got rained out. Oddly enough, the more times we get rained on the less upsetting it seems to be. I would have thought that logically it would go the other way ’round since it means collectively I am continually earning less. (Heavy Sigh) Still, I don’t seem to get be getting to bent out of shape. Of course this was a small event (only 70 artists) and my expectations weren’t all that high to begin with. Next weekend is a big event that I do have high expectations for. (Hope springs eternal.)

On the plus side of things I won an award. Now I have very little use for awards since I am not actively trying to build my resume’. However this one came with a fat check. (Fat checks are definately something I have use for.)

A little bit about the Owatonna Art event. It is held in Owatonna MN. They are a small town but they really work hard to put on a nice event. The standards are high (meaning quality of work), booth fees resonable, and the awards generous. They host a nice catered dinner on Saturday and have live music throughout the event. Much of the staff comes around and introduces themselves, as did their 7 judges! I have never been to an event with that many judges. Very impressive.

Thats about all there is to say. Other than it is so good to be home.
