We went to TC for an art fair on the college campus.
While mom ran her booth we all went to the museum next door. What a fine one! They have a permanent display of Inuit art and a kid’s museum with hands-on fun. The featured exhibit was of the work of Wesley Merritt, a folk artist from Mt. Pleasant, who worked up until the late 1980’s. (I wish I would’ve noticed it sometime as I drove through.) The Michigan Watercolorists group also had a display of their annual prize-winners — great work!
After the fair we had a feast that Marty and Erica whipped up at their nearby 50’s style pad. Marty has long been an organic market farmer as well as educator so we enjoyed a variety of the fruits of his field.
Then we went and watched the free big-screen movie at the beach, part of the Traverse City Film Fest. (Raising Arizona.)

I saw this neat new townie-style Huffy at the Art Fair. It’s my only art-fair pic. Dig the extendable rear rack.
