Another art festival

Every summer, as July turns into August, people living in Park City are treated to a massive art festival that turns Main Street into an art emporium for two and a half day. We've attended it on and off, for the past thirty years.

We went again last night – dubbed the local night – to preview this year's art offering but were not too impressed. We didn't find the diversity of art we were looking for, as most of the pieces displayed were paintings, illustrations and photographs that failed to grab our inquisitive glance. There were a few sculptures, but nothing overly creative as we thought we had seen in the past.

Over the years, we bought a few pieces that caught up our attention and that ended up fitting extremely well inside our home. Perhaps are we becoming a little blasé and need even more stimuli to get excited, but we still thought the offering was much richer in the past.

This said, we had a marvelous time riding the bus to, and from the festival. The atmosphere was festive, the passengers all pleasant, and on the way back, they all had a bit to drink which made the journey that much more fun. Well, these observations may be just signs of the times and of course, there's always next year!
