It's street craft fair time in Asheville! 

Sarah Sunshine is selling her pottery!

The Vance monument is not getting too much attention.

Street musicians attract the attention of a small pink kitty cat (face painted of course)

I stand in small crowded hallway inside the Art Museum, outside the Wortham Theatre.  Lots of crafts, (free beer) and many many gawkers like me.  It was too hot and crowded to be very enjoyable.  And quite honestly, the quality of crafts didn't impress us much.

Really, who woud want this hanging in their home?  You?  You're welcome to it!

My answer to a hot exhibit, as I'm sure lots of others also felt.

Trains and crafts meet here

The Train Depot no longer has any stopping trains, though there are a half dozen or so which go past daily.  So this is now the site of a crafts store for the tourists that arrive by car.
