Griffith Art in the Park - Griffith IN

Last weekend’s show was a scorcher & the pack up was brutal!!!!  

This was our second time attending the Griffith Art Show.  I love the park where they hold this art show with its big old trees and meandering pathways.  My booth just happened to be conveniently situated between the hospitality pavilion and the toities – can’t get any better than that, unless there is a way to control the weather!  Oh, my gosh was it hot.   Sunday the heat index was well over 100 with temps in the high 90’s but we were fortunate to have a slight breeze that kept us all from melting.

Unfortunately, attendance was way down at the show this year but there is always a silver lining in every grey cloud as it gave us time to talk to the neighboring artist in our area.  We had the best booth neighbors right next to us. Ken and I had a great time getting to know Kathy and John from JFK Glass Works.  Can’t wait to see them again next year.

And last but certainly not least - I was more than surprised when I was awarded 1st place in Jewelry this year!  I did not see that coming with all of the fine jewelry artists that this event has.  What an honor to receive this award out of the large array of jewelry artists at the show.   Now, I can start saving for a new artist tent that we really need.

A big thank you to all my loyal customers, old & new who braved the heat and came out to this event!  See you next year!!!!
