Judy, I probably told you this already, but like yourself I love art fairs. Since you are busy with the house Sunday but will be there Saturday, your presence alone should have the entire town of Long Grove on premises to mingle with you. Have a great time. Wish I could be there with you to enjoy it. It really sounds like a lot of fun.
