From Delaware Online by Ginger Gibson:
"After half a century of ushering in the fall for Delaware residents, the festival was canceled last year because of a financial dispute between the former organizer and Brandywine Park. But this year it was back bigger than before with 235 vendors.
Barry Schlecker, 70, who organized this year's event by forming a new
corporation and a new festival, couldn't get away from the operations
tent. He had trouble even completing sentences as attendees walked up to
congratulate him.
"Everybody is raving," a vendor exclaimed as she walked by.
"This is great," saids a friend who reached out to shake his hand.
Schlecker, who was the driving force behind getting the festival back on it's feet, was a little taken aback. "Everyone is thanking me like I saved the world or cured cancer," Schlecker said. "It's just an art show."
