This evening, after a brief rainstorm that left the air clammy instead of drier, Tristan and I walked up to check the progress of the plants in our community garden and to stroll through the booths at the Crozet Arts and Crafts Festival. Although advertising for the event was all over local TV, radio, and newspapers, and it was slated to be open until 8 pm, by 5:45 the artists and vendors were buttoning it all up. We quickly raced through buildings B and C and Tristan was disappointed that the “Kids Area” was deserted. On display and up for sale was a variety of arts and crafts, with some fine craftsmanship on display but less in the finer arts than I’d hoped. Two photographers caught my eye and might be worth a return trip tomorrow. It was hard to judge whether this would normally be a fun event since I went after the rain and after the crowds had left, but I’m doubtful that this will be the place I find the perfect thing to adorn 3 barren walls crying out for something of interest.
