A cool way to spend the day is at the Laguna Beach, CA Sawdust Art Festival and this is the last week! The festival runs through August 30th.

This is usually an annual event for me, attending with friends and this year was no exception. I headed south down the I-5 to Laguna Beach for the 2009 event. Each year I plan early enough to make the Sawdust Festival prior to attending (later that evening) the spectacular nearby Laguna Pagent of the Masters.

Both events are always a treat, and a great way to beat the late summer heat.  What could be a better way to cool off among beauty of mother nature and amazing art!

Without exception the Sawdust Festival (dating back to the mid 1960's) always offers and eclectic array of artists showcasing their cretive talents in many ways.

A wide variety of food and refeshments are available along with entertainment featured on three stages, something for everyone!

Now I've got to show you my treasure, my art purchase for this year, created by local artist Robert Jones. This piece has a different look depending on the light, with my camera it has a dark reddish look, yet in natural light it appears to be dark in color. A beautiful work of art.

Living in So Cal this is an ongoing event for me and one thing for sure you never know exactly what you're going to find at the Sawdust, all except for a dog-gone good time!
