I wrote this bog for an hour and a half. Saved it as a draft, then it disappeared into the ether. This has happened too many times on this site.
I am done with it.

With the dissolution of Ann Arbor's South University Area Association, The Guild was asked to extend the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair onto South University to Washtenaw. Former South University Fair artists who want to be on South University and did not rollover a deposit from the 2020 show, should apply to the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair and will be given the choice of location at time of contract. The Guild is honoring $100 booth deposits that were left by Artists to the South University Art Fair for the 2021 show.

Hope everyone had a terrific St Patrick's Day! Since it was the 50th anniversary of the Denver Parade, we went all out. Bellco Credit Union sponsors us in the parade. Thank you Bellco! Our four Giant Parade Puppets were festooned with shamrocks and green trim. I rode my new stilt bike, featuring a red headed Leprechaun made by Cory Gilstrap. http://www.facebook.com/cory.gilstrap I mounted him on the handle bars with a pot o gold just out of reach of the grasping Leprechaun ! Photos and stilt bike riding practice video here: http://stiltwalker.com/states/colorado/denver/50th-saint-patricks-day-parade-denver/
I didn't give Cory a huge budget, but he was very gracious to work with my budget and deliver on time. I was/am very happy with the yet unnamed Leprechaun. (any ideas?) Both the free hand, and the out stretched leg as well as the head are all pose-able. Cory also provided the Pot o Gold. After the parade I did sew on some more gold coins. The thrift store fishing pole, which I provided, I also shortened in preparation for next year's parade.
Youtube has some video of the parade with our Giant Parade Puppets, one video even catches me on my stilt bike gliding by.
Every year the Denver Post prints in the paper and online a photo of one of our Giant Puppets . this year I couldn't find us online, but the daily had a photo of one of our puppets on the Friday before the parade, and the YourHub weekly insert had a terrific photo of all four Parade Puppets! Best photo ever published! Yea!
I'm enjoying reading all of the festival reviews, hope you enjoy this somewhat off topic post.
Cheers!

I just visited a great event on Saturday-the Tampa Tourdeclay which featured 6 studios with 20 Florida potters and their guest potters. Fun, food, music, shoptalk and sales were present as I went from each studio visiting with the potters with their unique styles and ways of marketing their work. Had a great time and enjoyed the comraderie. The event is a yearly feature of the Florida Westcoast Ceramic Society. www.tampatourdeclay.com
