My damages were no where near <i>career-ending.</i> I do have insurance because I have a brick and mortor business. However it only covers cost of goods lost. (this is the way with most insurance's. Also with postal insurance and tax deductions in regards to donations) By the time you take the cost and then the deductable there won't be much in way of assistance. None the less I contacted my insurance company and am still working on the actual inventory lost. I really am taking it all pretty good. I have been since it happened. Belinda (the friend who helped seperate the salvagable from trash) kept saying over and over that I was "one tough lady." Apparently she expected I would crumble into tears. No tears yet over the trauma of last weekend. That being said, I still am dreaming about picking up water soaked prints off the street. Really other than a great deal of labor my losses were minor compared to others. Hope you both (urr . . . probably not you UD, wasn't really thinking there.) had a good fourth of July. I of course went in to the gallery. I have 5 days until the next event and loads of stock to replace. However I kept my doors locked and then left early. Mike and I went to a movie and then watched the fireworks. It has been years since I seen a city display, and even though it was a small town it was still pretty impressive and quite enjoyable.

I am glad for the above possible relief. I hope you and the wildlife artist you mentioned are able to get some relief from this organization. What kind of insurance could a person have for this? Probably cost prohibitive for most. I hope this is the end of such terrible weather for the rest of the art fair events. Angela I just posted under yesterday’s post, again I am very sorry.
