Picnic like no other!

Well, I must tell you all about this event that I was part of this past weekend.
It was...in three words...fan tas tic! It was called Picnic Music & Art's Festival. Lincoln Park on Congress Street in downtown Portland was full of activity and excitement, the likes of which, I have never seen before!
Canopies were pitched and all sorts of interesting people set up shop!
You could find prints, artwork, incredible bags, jewelry, bird houses, antiques, clothing, pottery, baby bibs, bath and body products, fun plush stuffed animals, and even tarot card readings! What a talented, eclectic group!

It was well planned out and well organized. Their attention to detail was obvious!The posters were whimsical, fun and eye catching (and everywhere!) They even had the Picnic logo on their table umbrellas! The music was great and entertaining! They left large grassy spaces for people to lay a blanket and have a picnic! How neat is that?
Whether you were selling your goods or services, shopping, were in a band or listening to the music it was a great time to be had by all!

I would find it hard to believe that if you live in the greater Portland area that you didn't see a poster on a telephone pole, in an area shop, restaurant, business, or see an ad in the newspaper for this well publicized event!
If you, somehow, didn't know about it, or if you just couldn't make it, don't fret! Simply Go to www.picnicportland.wordpress.com and click on vendors. The list is there of all who participated and with one click you can be at many of these crafters web sites! Be sure to shop with these hard working, talented, local folks! You are likely to get fantastic, personal, customer service and a great deal of gratitude!

I use this word often but it fits so I will use it again, BRAVO to all of you who spent your valuable time to present Portland with such an exciting, cultural venue!
My vote is to have the Picnic Music & Art's Festival once a month from June-Sept.! Is that asking too much???
Oh, I must give a big THANKS & shout out to Mother Nature for providing us with a foggy at times, yet relatively warm, sunny and, most importantly, rain-free day!
