The First Huntley Artfest closed on Sunday at 4 PM to the accolades of attending Artist and Patrons. Approximately 2,800 patrons strolled through Artfest Grounds, enjoying the Arts, Music and Food. All good things seem to be put to a 'Test' and Artfest had its trials. How on earth does one survive a monsoon, 10 minutes before your Art Fair is to open? The answer is simple: "You remain steadfast and then take care of others" That is exactly what the Organizers and a multitude of volunteers - all from "The First Congregational Church" did on Saturday Morning.
The Artist attending Artfest were taken back by the immediate response to make sure that they the Artist were up back and running, while Tents of the Artfest Organizers, lay on the ground from the storm that morning.
Heavy rain and 60+ mph winds did not deter Artfest, and the Celebration continued. Now that Artfest is over, I can sit back with a big smile and lots of Pride in the efforts put forth by The First Congregational Church.
Huntley now has an Annual Event that is sure to grow over years to come. As the Talent on Stage continues to expand, and more Artist hear of the awesome Art Fair in Huntley, Huntley has become a destination point, for Artist.
The list is long to Thank all those who made Artfest happen, so please stop by our Web Page http://www.firsthuntleyartfair.org to view the many local businesses and residents who aided the First Congregational Church, in breathing life into a Dream, A Vision,... and now a Reality.
Within the next couple of weeks the Dates will be set for Huntley Artfest 2012. I will announce the dates at that time.
