Dogwood Arts Festival

Last month we attended the Dogwood Arts Festival downtown. We had never been before and really enjoyed it. Taylor got sick that weekend and I never got around to blogging about it. Then life got busy and I blogged about other things and totally forgot about it. This past weekend Taylor and I went to the Farmer's Market downtown and I remembered that I hadn't blogged yet so here are some pictures from our day. They had food vendors, crafts, and these sidewalk drawings. This was the first year for the sidewalk drawings and you were able to vote for your favorite one. The winner got a monetary prize.

My name is Julie Sommerfelt,
My art was actually the one with the sunsphere and dogwood flowers, and I was googling dogwood arts festival images, found this photo of my chalk art, and was so happy! I have lost the photo I took! Thanks so much for your post.
