The Boulder Library sponsored Boulder's 42nd Art Fair this weekend. The two-day event was held ,as usual, at Memorial Park. Almost 100 artists showed up each day . More than 1000 locals and visitors strolled through the shady park each day, as temperatures remained in the comfortable 21°C all weekend.

All kinds of arts were on display and for sale. Prices ranged from a couple of dollars to a couple of thousand dollars. Oscar, a native of Peru, was selling his beautiful paintings of the mountain village of Ayacucho, where he lives most of the year. "Every year I come to the United States to sell my paintings at about five different art shows. Then I return to my country. That is where I do all my paintings, in our beautiful mountains." Peter is a photographer. He travels throughout the southwest US. One of his favorite areas is northeast Arizona. A Navajo woman was selling her own rug weavings at the fair. She was busy creating a rug while visitors watched. When asked how long it took she replied that her creations usually took months.

The exhibit areas were located throughout the park. Artists' creations included jewelry , bird houses, gourd(葫芦) art, furniture ,pottery , handmade musical instruments, music CDs and sculpture. "This was another successful year for our art fair," said the head librarian." The artists sold enough of their works to encourage them to return next year, and the library raised almost $700 from sales of various items. We 'll use this money to purchase a few more tables and chairs."
