There was no doubt that the sticky humidity, the feverish
wind, and the enraged storm made it seem that FestiFair could be destined for
doom this past Saturday. Not surprisingly Uptown Marysville did not succumb to
Mother Nature and pulled through with a fantastic 36th annual
FestiFair.
There were over 140 vendors and each had their own unique
and special niche on display. The amount of community members that were
exploring each tent with smiles and vigor were enough to scare any bad weather
away until closing.
Fall made its presence known as it was hard to find
someone who wasn’t carrying one of these giant and scrumptious cookies from the
Ribbon Box.
You couldn’t look anywhere without knowing what state you
were in either. Tis’ the season for The Buckeyes!
And if these home-crafted pumpkins don’t get you in the
fall spirit than I don’t know what will! With the hurriedness of our culture I think we often
forget to slow down and appreciate how important art is in our lives. Art
brings people together, provides a blank slate for our minds, and opens our
eyes to the possibilities of creativity. Thank you, FestiFair and Uptown
Marysville, for slowing down and offering a venue for the communion of neighbors
among arts and crafts.
