easily accessible by many of my readers, located in southeastern Michigan. From artist Christy LaRoy:
This is the weekend to be in Monroe, they have officially estimated 40,000 in attendance to the Jazz Fest, and I know we have our own following just for the Art Show also, but I'm not sure on any exact numbers beside talking to all the people that come buy my tent. (I'm my own little pollster). Last year despite some bad weather some of the sales for some of the return artists were even better than any other year. There was a pottery lady right down from me who sold almost every piece she had. But we have good food, lots of restaurants and bars surrounding us and I haven't been to a street fair with such nice volunteers, even the artists seem extra nice at this show. Nice combination: jazz and art. This sounds like a good place to spend an August weekend - near to many of my readers, very fair booth fee, plus great hospitality. For more info and an application:

Yikes, Ginny, that was my fault. This particular Monroe is in Michigan.
I was really embarrassed this winter when Carla Fox posted on the NAIA site that she had received an application with neither a city nor a state! I happened to see that posting and realized she was talking about Arts, Beats & Eats in Pontiac, MI, with which I have been associated since l998.
Thanks for the comment. I have amended the application information.
