The 46th annual Space Coast Art Festival was held in Cocoa Beach over Thanksgiving weekend and thousands of art lovers came out to stroll around the the juried show. There was great live entertainment, good food and drinks as well. Here is the first group of photos of the event I wanted share with you. Click here to see Post Two.

A bag of Kettle Korne to munch on while taking in the show is a must! That's my wife buying a $3.00 bag.

Very creative and unsual. It would be like hanging your worst nightmare on the wall.

Hi Rich - We only eat kettle korn once or twice a year but it sure is tasty!

Toni - I would wager you'll see some of the artists that were at the Cocoa Beach show. You're in for a treat.

John - Those are incredibly unique pieces of art!  That fish in the first photo is spectacular.  We have an avid fisherman in our family.  That would make an outstanding mantle piece in his home.

Looks like a great time (with great weather!) John! Fantastic art work, can only imagine the hours that went into making that shark! Doesn't that boat look like the boat from the movie Jaws???

Al and Peggy - It was in the seventies but overcast most of the day (acceptable). The artists all put many hours into their pieces and were competing for $50,000 in prize money. That boat does look like the one from jaws. I can hear the movie sound track now :-)

That's one serious looking fish, John! If I caught that, I'd have to throw it back in the water!!!!

Steve - Those teeth are pretty sharp. Maybe it's a goldfish's alter ego :-)

Debi - Nah... just have it mounted and put it over the fireplace. Maybe I'll put that pic on my business card :-)

John, just came from your first post and as much as I liked your "alter ego" in stainless I still think the boats are my favorite.
