I posted last year about this fabulous event.
We had another great weekend at the Fair this year.
We do this to cherish my sister-in-law's memory; Sally Murdaugh was one of the Fair's founders. It's since become a major civic event for Clayton, and one of the best-regarded fairs in the U.S. Anne and the kids have given out the Sally Murdaugh Memorial Award the last two years to the artist whom the Art Fair staff feel best exemplifies Sally's irrepressible spirit (sorry about small pix; note to Art Fair, publish bigger versions!);
2004: Julie Malone
2005: Mary Robinson
We've had the chance to get to know many artists' and their work through the fair, too. My kids love this part of the weekend the best -- exploring the remarkable art, finding treasures, talking to people who make beautiful and wondrous things...

There are always too many stand-outs to mention, but both years we've all fallen in love with the work of Ann Wood and Dean Lucker from St. Paul, Minnesota. Check out their marvelous work;
And swing by NewsGator any time after early October to drop a donation to their Fortune Teller and discover the future ....
