Your comments about the 2nd Festival of the Senses (you can leave comments in the photo section):
 
My sister, Mother, and I had our tee time canceled and decided to check out the Festive instead.  We are so glad our tee was cancelled!!!  The artists were fabulous, so accessible, informative, and friendly.  We have already decided to gather more family/friends for next year's Festival.  Also, thanks to all those selling the wonderful food for keeping the food costs really reasonable.  It continues to amaze me how many wonderful things to do I can find in my own backyard!

 

A wonderful time was had by all and as a participating artist ~ it doesn't get better than this. I was overwhelmed with positive comments and looking forward to the 3rd annual event next year. Thanx for another perfectly organized festival!
