Testimonials

"Lots of customers and they came to buy! Very well organized and great communication by Webster Arts organization. Volunteers were terrific! Easy load in and load out."

 "I can not believe how many people were there to help us out from setting up tents, bringing water and snacks, and checking on us to see if we needed a booth sitter. And then the basic set up of the fair was so nice - the isles were wide, signs made it easy to see how it was laid out, having food trucks with plenty of tables under a canopy, and various musicians to entertain the crowd (the music wasn't too loud either!). I can't believe how many people said this was their favorite fair - especially this year. They said that the variety and quality of artwork available this year was amazing.

Everyone was so nice - I am glad I was part of it."
