A bit of a disclaimer: I prefer allergy-free sports (watch on TV) and allergy-free arts (go to galleries and shows). By exhibiting indoors, I am somwhat assured of what the weather will be and not deal with rain or heat above 80 degrees. So for me to be part of a show that was held in a park was very unusual.
On August 22, Ridgefield, Washington celebrated it's 100th anniversary with what was a large community party, including: early morning walk/run, parades of old cars and tractors, ice cream socials, fashion show, kids activities, historical cemetery tour, ongoing entertainment on the park's stage, etc.
And yes, 'Art in the Park.' Presented by Ridgefield Art Association, artists' work was viewed within an open white arena under tents procured from local utility group.
This event was special! The community's pride was seen in the festival participants from the friendly waves of walkers as paintings were delivered just after 7 AM to the smiles of event volunteers at the day's end.
Good job, Ridgefield!
