YESTERDAY I TRAVELED TO IVES PARK TO THE SEBASTOPOL FAIR TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING. IT WAS A VERY HOT DAY. I NOTICED FIESTA MARKET WAS NOT THERE, HOWEVER THEIR WERE MANY CHINESE PEOPLE SELLING KNIT KNACKS. I ASKED IF THEY HAD BEEN TO CHINAND THEY SAID THEY BRING STUDENTS THERE TO LEARN CANTONESE AND CHINESE FOR 5 YEARS. THEY HAVE AN IN DEPTH LESSON OF HOW HARD THE CHINESE WORK. HE SAID WE TAKE IT EASY TOO MUCH IN THE U.S! THAT WAS A GENERALITY. THEY MUST BE WORKAHOLICS. THERE WERE MANY CRAFTERS SELLING EVERYTHING FROM TIE DYE TO APPLE PIES! IT WAS QUITE A LOT OF VENDORS. ONE PHOTOGRAPHER WAS A GREAT ONE WITH PHOTOS OF YOSEMITE WITH SUNSET SHING ON THE WATERFALLS. IT WAS A REALLY NEAT PHOTO. ANOTHER PHOTO HAD BEARS CATCHING FISH IN YOSEMITE!
THE VETERANS MEMORIAL HAD WORKS OF ART FROM SEBASTOPOL CENTR FOR THE ARTS. THEY HAD ALL KINDS OF ART WORK INCLUDING A WORK WITH SHEEP BONES MADE INTO FLOWERS. THEY EVEN HAD A POTTERS ROOM FILLED WITH IN THE BACK. THEY HAD JEWELRY ARTISTS, PAINTERS, GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS, COLLAGES, DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS ARTISTS AND ACRYLIC AND OIL PAINTERS.
THEY HAD MANY FOLKS EATING AND DRINKIBG AND SOME WERE DANCING TO MANY BANDS. THE BANDS INCLUDED A RYTHYM AND BLUES BAND, THE RED HOT MAMAS. THE FARALLONS AND VARIOUS JAZZ PLAYERS INCLUDED SUSAN CONSTOCK SWINGTET.
