Belleville, IL - May 16-19, 2014 - Art on the Square
Maybe you were at this show. It is one of the goodies.
We all complain about the music, the food, the kids activities, the sponsor booths that are ubiquitous at the art fairs, so I just found the schedule of activities for last week's Art on the Square that to my mind turns that griping on its head.
Besides the kids activities and the stages look what else they are doing:

What a great way to educate your fair goers and support the artists. Kudos to Patty Gregory and her committee.
P.s. You can listen to a podcast that I did with the show organizer, Patty Gregory, right here: http://my.blogtalkradio.com/artfairs/2013/08/14/how-to-bring-buyers-to-the-art-fairs
