Waterloo Holiday Arts Festival.  Waterloo, Iowa, November 13, 2005

I have attended this art festival several times over the years.  My mother got me the information, and although I wasn't really sure about this one, I decided to give it a try. 

I'm sure glad I did.  It was an easy show to set up for.  There were many volunteers there to help out and unload.  The organizers were very helpful and made sure that we had everything we needed.

Leanne and I attended the artist/patron party on Saturday night.  It was a nicely catered affair, with great food and entertainment.  Uncle Chuck Finch was there singing and playing guitar.  When he went into "Sail Cat", I couldn't help but sing along.  I've heard him several times on KUNI.

Sunday was a great sale day.  I received six Patron Purchase awards.  All of my large sculptures sold and a good share of everything else.  This made loading up for the trip home pretty easy!  I was extremely grateful for all the support from family and friends. 

And a special thanks goes out to the members of the Waterloo First Presbyterian Church for all of their support and kind words.  It was great to see you all!

Now I have to get busy and create as many new sculptures as I can for the Very Cherry Holiday Arts Open House on December 3.  It is shaping up to be a great event.  Hope to see you all there!
