Today was Mazie’s birthday and one of the things she decided we should do is the Stone Arch Bridge Festival. It had been a very long time since we had been to this and I was really impressed by the size of it. There were so many artists and vendors. It felt to me like it had a particular Minnesota flare to it, with a lot of art that was locally inspired. We spent about four hours but could have spent the entire day there.

Some artists that caught our eye:

Mazie bought a piece of art with her own money — her very first art purchase from H. Ward Mileswww.hwardmiles.com.

I also really liked these very local artist creating location pieces. Maybe I could get one of them to participate in a future year of the 612 POAP Challenge. 😊

We grabbed some switchel from Hobby Farmer on our way heading back home!
