We can be resilient. A severe microcell thunderstorm hit many of the artist tents on Friday night. Including ours. In fact our tent ended up 80 yards away form it’s original location. From Flashlights and picking up the damage Friday night to today, a lot has happened. I have met so many wonderful people Artists and Fair Attendees. The resiliency and the way in which everyone rallied to help others was a testimony of the kindness in people.
As my Dad likes to say, “There is more good in this world than bad.”
Yesterday was the last day of the show and we had laughs and made the best of things. I met so many wonderful people who have me compliments on my minimalistic art and it filled my heart with joy. I also enjoyed the suggestions from the crowd about putting together a collection of works of places that they loved. Stratton, Saratoga Springs, and Adirondacks were most requested.
I did some shopping myself to support other artists.
A huge thank you to the show producers who helped us all during the rough patch with all that they did. In many ways the storm helped us bond more. My artist neighbor has been a delight and his singing and guitar last night continued to add the levity to the day. Funny how things that seem so bad in the moment can be a blessing in retrospect.
