3 ALARM for YOU!
I love a good festival. I am going to Gatlinburg’s Annual Chili Cook Off this week and will stuff myself to the gills. Yum. I’m truly afraid to attend the Annual Ribfest (which also includes chicken wings)… I might not fit back into my car at the end. Think of all the festival food you could eat with these Calls for Entry.
Some folks love Art Festivals, and they can be an excellent opportunity for art sales if you know how to work it. Check out these Calls for Entry from the Celedon Fine Arts Festival, the Omaha Summer Arts Festival and the Monmouth Festival of the Arts. I don’t often post art festivals…so here’s three to make it up to those of you who love them!
