Where You’ll Find Me This Weekend: Clear Lake, Iowa
The Sweet Spot
So tomorrow (July 24th) I am doing the Clear Lake Art Sail which is an event located near the lake at City Park. Name of lake? I bet you can guess. (I’d post a link but there isn’t one.)
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve done this event so I am hopeful we’ll do really well. Prior to that I think I had done it for at least 5 years. It’s a small venue (about 75 artists) though really well juried. The art is all quality stuffs.
I am located in the sweet spot this year which is dead center of the giant X layout they have for booths. This is a great location because of course it is in the center so everybody goes by (as opposed to being on an end somewhere) but also because the shape of the formation will allow me to open up the sides of the booth for more display and work area.
I do plan on bringing the painting along since there is no rain forecast. I’m struggling to believe this since it HAS rained very nearly everyday for months and the storms of late have been very severe (as in tornados touching down within 13 miles of home) with impressive lightening displays. It’s supposed to rain all day today, so tomorrow better dawn sunny and bright or . . . I guess I have no one to threaten about that.
I’ll do an event wrap up when I’m back plus any work in progress I’ve accomplished.
My booth number is 49 for anyone in the area come on out to see me. For everyone else, I’ll see ya’ll on the other side.
I am a weather.com junkie… I looked up Clear Lake State Park in IA and amazingly, Sat., Sun., and Mon. are the only days without thunderstorms predicted- you must be blessed.
Have fun!
Thanks I’m not quite counting my blessings yet as the weather forecast is already changing. Maybe it’s time to make some sort of sacrifice to the weather gods.
Have a great trail riding weekend. I love horses and the great outdoors as much as the next person, but I really need AC and a soft mattress at the end of the day. But then again, I’m a wimp.
Best of luck! Sounds like a great set up. Are you on your own again or is Mike with you this time?
Mike was along and it was a lovely day in the end. Had major storms the night prior but was a perfect day weather wise.
