The 2 hours I had planned to spend at this festival to "check
it out" turned into 5 hours and calling four friends
to hurry up and
get to the festival! It was fabulous, to say the very least. The artists
were friendly, informative
and quite happy to be there! I hope this
will be the first of many more years! I know of a handful of people who
missed
it and are quite upset over it. I thought the children's play area
was a very unique idea too. The kids were having
a ball! THANK YOU!
And see you next year!
We just got home from the festival and wanted to let you know that we absolutely loved it! We have a 2 and 4 year
old and the kids crafts were absolutely amazing.....We called at least 4 of our friends with small children to tell them how
fabulous it was. We also loved the local restaurant sponsors and of course the art! Thanks for a great family
day in the community!

Just wanted to say "thank you" for the effort you put forth to organize the show this weekend. What a great event
it turned out to be!! Not only were our sales more than we anticipated, we had a great time and recruited many new customers!
We couldn't believe the quality of the artists and crafters and truthfully haven't seen that
caliber in a show in many, many years. We had such tremendous feedback from our customers that attended and thought
we would share some with you.
Most were shocked at the size of the show and were very impressed with comments like "wow, finally
a show worth coming to!" "there's so many artists here, this is the biggest show I've been to in a long time!", "did
you go to the food tent, it's the best food I've ever seen at an art show". I invited family to attend also as a "preview"
to our new fall fashions and they are used to the "variety" of crafters at the indoor shows we do in the fall. They
just couldn't believe how great the show was and bought so much from the different artists they had to make 2 trips to the
car!!
I know how hard you worked to organize this and I thought that many times the promoter only
hears the negative feedback. I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the show and how impressed we were with the
turnout. Thanks again for all your efforts, it really paid off.

My husband and I stopped by the “Festival
of the Senses” to check everything out and ended up staying more than 3 hours. Wow! I was impressed with the helpfulness
of the volunteers, the quality of the displaying artists and crafters, the outstanding food, the musical acts that we heard,
the great activities for young kids… The list could go on.
We called a few friends to check
it out, also. I’m looking forward to next year’s festival already. My congratulations to your planning
committee and all who worked so hard to host this great event.
Sincerely,
- K.S.
I had a great time! As a vendor it was a fun and profitable
weekend.
I heard many positive comments, as well, about the variety of activities and food. I didn't have a lot of time
to walk around - we
were pretty busy - but when I did manage to get away I was impressed with what I saw - interesting
artists, great children's activities, good food and entertainment. Friends said it was better than other recent
shows they've attended.
Thanks..it was a wonderful weekend.
The festival was perfect! A great mix of artists, food, and
entertainment.
I'm looking forward to seeing it expand over the years. Well done Clinton Township!
