We appreciate all of the non-profit organizations that bring activities to ArtFest for people of all ages!

Did you stop by the Art Cart tent at Bloomsburg ArtFest this past Saturday? Anne Cosper, our facilitator, had these reflections:

"Hooray for another successful Art Fest! Here are some of the highlights from my day:

"A little girl from one of my kid groups shouting from across the street 'Miss Anne, Miss Anne, I'm in kindergarten!'

"A grandmother, daughter, and teenage granddaughter, three generations making gnomes. An Art Cart first?

"Ashley sitting next to me making her gnome. We can learn a lot from Ashley, she's fearless and always herself.

"My final crafters were a trio of sorority sisters. They were so pleased with their gnomes that they were going to change the house decorations and post the gnomes on their doors.

"I was surprised by how many adults, without kids, stopped to make the project, an interesting trend, maybe.

"Finally, it was great to see so many people out and about, and of course, the opportunity to catch up with friends and acquaintances.

Thank you to everyone for an all around great day."
