Fur In The Paint

Here’s poor little Budda cat all tuckered out after a hard days packing for this weekend’s art fair. Or should I say a hard day of directing the packing.

I am on my own this weekend. It has been years since I’ve done an event all by myself though at one time it was common for me. Mike is off to massage school. Mind you I have dozens of friends who have offered to assist me at art fairs but the stars were against me this time. As weddings, family vacations and our local celebration has left me adrift in a sea of loneliness. (So do you pity me yet?)

Greater Rolfe Days
This weekend also happens to be Greater Rolfe Days which is my hometown celebration, where there is a school reunion, parade, miscellaneous activities and of course the aforementioned rodeo. (Click on the link to plan your visit and you’ll see a rundown of all the hometown type activities including a greased pig contest and chicken bingo.) What that means is several other people either have relatives in town or are participating in the various activities and thus no one wanted to go sit in the sweltering heat with me. (hard to imagine, I know. sigh)

Brookings Summer Arts Festival
So this weekend I will be in Brookings SD doing the Brookings Summer Art Festival, which is a huge event. I think they have around 300 vendors plus there are many satellite events which all totaled probably doubles the number. So if you’re in the area stop by and say hi. I’m at Booth 189.

See you all on Tuesday.
