It's hard to believe but next week is the beginning of June and with that comes the Junebug Artfest!  This is our 10th year and as a volunteer, committee chair, and exhibiting artist, I am especially excited about this year. Last year, we switched to Saturday nights and that change continues this year as it allows us to close Main St. for the third night-- June 17.  With the street closure, there's a beer garden and a wine bar to add to the fun but the main focus is always on the art and music. There is a free photowalk the first week, live glassblowing the second week and a pottery demo the final week. There is amazing music throughout all four weeks of the festival. But do you want to know what I personally can't wait to see? On June 17,  4 painters will be on stage doing a live painting event where they will switch canvases partway through. They will switch multiple times so they end up all painting on each canvas! When I first talked about this event with one of the painters, Easton Davy, he told me he really wanted to do this because "it would be so punk." Hell, yes, it is! Hope you can come see that but you really can't go wrong with visiting any Saturday night in June.  See you at the Junebug!
