What were the chances that our second Friends of Grant Park Art Fair would have great weather two years in a row? It could have been 90º that day, or raining, or both.

The art fair was held Sunday, July 21st in Area 5A Picnic Shelter. We had food, refreshment, a raffle and music!

The Art Raffle offered one piece of art from each of our artists. Tickets were $1 each; or 6 for $5. Winners were announced at 2 pm.

As a special treat, we were treated to Celtic tunes floating on the air played by FOGP member Deb Wilhelm on violin and Jerry Connor on guitar. Thank you both!

Other FOGP volunteers were helping out as well: Lyn Weber, Robert and Judy Kempke, Carla Uphill, Mary Fortier, Debby Pizur, Lynn Meidam, Pam Uhrig, Catcher and Lil Uhrig, Anne Schlimgen and Jody Johnson.

We are all so appreciative of the many attendees who came to support our mission statement. What are the chances that a third Friends of Grant Park Art Fair would have great weather three years in a row?
