As a Bloomington-Normalite (well, really Towandonian) the Sugar Creek Arts Festival was always the charming mark of mid-summer, a celebration of kettle corn and crafts. This year, I decided to participate. I am grateful to Jess Wiser for her encouragement and to my parents for coordinating the construction of my ‘tent’ (as i’ve found myself calling it) from afar. And, what a surprise and a joy to be awarded BEST IN SHOW amid so much talent.

(Plus, a big thanks to everyone who stopped by to say ‘hello.’)
