Happy birthday to Nels!

Posted by Connie Mettler on October 25, 2010 at 2:30pm

This is a big day for ArtFairInsiders aficionados. It is the birthday of Nels Johnson, the erstwhile chronicler of the nation's art fairs, roadie, gourmet foodie and tequila taster. He seems to be hiding out in Ybor City today, or maybe at the golf course. Please add your birthday greetings to him in the comments below and if you can, tell us your favorite Nels story.

Happy birthday, Nels. I never turn to this site that I don't hope there is a new missive from you. Many thanks for all the info, photos and laughs from you in the last year.

Nels Johnson, happy birthday

Happy Birthday, Nels.
May you have many more, and enjoy every one!
As soon as my bones stop protesting from standing on the hills of Mt. Dora for two days, I will follow your advice and write a review. I even took pictures this year.
