Newtown Arts Festival 2013
Newtown, Connecticut's 2nd Arts Festival was held on the beautiful grounds of Fairfield Hills covering three acres. Members of the Newtown Cultural Arts Commission presented a two day family friendly event as the culmination of a week of art related activities. With four tented workshops and demonstrations occurring simultaneously each hour ranging from music, dance, and lectures, to kid's activities there was something for everyone. In addition there were substantial art/craft, and food vendors who offered assorted delights from the standard hamburgers and hot dogs to fresh bakery products and elk stew. The center field was turned into a temporary sculpture garden created by artist Joe Sorge where he displayed his Sorgetown sculptures. Rain and wind which passed through on Saturday afternoon didn't dampen spirits as guests rushed to the large music tent and enjoyed the moment.
The turquoise colored guitar in photos 101-106 was handmade by Nelson Joyce who personally came here from Arizona to present it to Robert Rabinowitz and to our town.
Day two, September 22nd begins with photo 203
