round it starts right history is this fair and is getting ready for next year's listing in all the crafter magazines and taking applications for next year or and it goes through applications  well in january i have to start my request letters to use the park to have the police help art help i have to send out a whole bunch of letters to different agencies in holland the august fourth august fourth thank you but to watch the show and say of course but next year when is next year next year will be the first saturday of august which i believe is august third in two thousand and thirteen think i have about two hundred and thirty five to two hundred fifty vendors all together there's a few nonprofits but most of them are vendors of crafts we have about source of the park is fine arts vendors that are selling jewelry photography ceramics from sculpture yes y the fee for a booth is eighty dollars no matter where it is there all twelve by twelve spaces we try and place people where they want to be they want shade or if they want sign or if they want to be on a corner or if they want to be on the street  or they want to be near the fountain or or whatever they request i try and honor as many of those as i can and you just referred to were there some of the money you take him to do his us show we give all the area high schools our scholarships they get two or three i think per school jamie right the high school teacher here in holland is in charge of that so he has more of the information on the particulars a but yeah that's where the majority of our money goes then some goes for programs some goes for well like the out of a county fair just has an art competition and we put up the money for the award hopefully will have good sales today and make their eighty dollars and then sound bad so that it's well worth their time and energy to come yes oh well i'll tell you what you ladies do and i want to hear most the scholarship funds and the fund raising that we're doing and i want to thank my i do have some volunteers that come and help me too and they're in the dizzy bow now answering questions and helping people find a particular vendor that maybe bunny thank you for the oh you know what a pleasure and you're also a very nice person which represents all very very well and we will be doing more interviews today so stick with us and we're going to try to give you right to write the kinds of people who come to the in the park and are trying to sell their wares and we'll talk to people coming to the buy and we will share with you what takes place at this art park so we will be next ok we're out at our next interview and i'm particularly as as we meander through the park and see the things that is this your first year at this this is my second year here so you had a good year last year yet you know it's fun we had good weather and cold last the customers so we are back again  recycled yes a piece of wire and you can see all the different handles on here they're all mismatched and everything so and then i you can like use them as bird feeders the one out from under here and just on there  so your creativity is a wonderful thing but you can people can use them in any way you know that way it's not just something you put in the yard it has like a purpose that way and it'll probably stay fairly on rushdie for a while you and that's why you're back that's right it's a blessing to be here there's the even though there is the coast guard festival going on right now that this show is just known for just great gathering of clues ok we actually have two products the first product is one that was started several years ago which i did with a partner and their  are five original designs in there actually silk screened on and then we drill the holes and put in the cam lacks the dowels the wood glue and construct the whole thing so each piece is individually screened and then manufactured it's definitely a labor of love love coming to the show so much and meeting all the people i don't know if i would do it but but it brings joy because it's truly like having a piece  themed and are classes and asked for children's books so what's nice about this besides content in the illustrations here as you can see there's a lot of beautiful are in the same reviewed actually this is a different a different lady that does the artwork but what we have at the back of the book it's really nice we have a bible verse here and then there's page references with a little adequate lesson for every page so beautiful and i might add to the audience that this is the heart of the party and we're just really want to share with the community how great it is but next year the same thing happens the first saturday of august teapot all these individual pieces are all will thrown and then they're cut apart on the angles and then reattach by slip and scored so these are all individually thrown and then put together and then it's fired in the and they're put together by one by which is actually liquid clay and they're really complicated pieces yes the one next to it also that's also a teapot yes they're all teeth and they are functional too but not practical but where do you get the idea of looking like it just actually studied the algae for a year and a lot of the animals and also i wanted to bring my teapot the life so i tr and this will be shown next week and thank you for having me you next year we hope so thank you very much and we just completed another phenomenal interview ok and this time we're really getting into the fine arts and as you can see i'm surrounded by paintings that just me lay folks yes this is two thousand and twelve but come back next year because you your number of years i have and your name is wilma no wilma no and you're from grand rapids michigan and have you been to this show before yes i've been here about seven or eight times seven or eight always and many of the scenes have to do with montana and south dakota always because i used to live in south dakota and i go back there frequently on the farm there and some of my family still living there and some of them also live in montana util country do you make some piece of michigan yes fascinating type of activity you have defined it better than i've ever heard of defined before you really put the real emotion yes it's a beautiful thing i tell you and this is now going to be played next week which and now we are with a very special person who may be known all over the home and people are going to say wow that's the lady but you are i'm carolyn stitch carolyn's and i'm going to go back and say to all the local people her name is on cards and we're all over this community she does the convention vision or through a card do you do things for those magazines you do i do   three years ago someone was leaving their studio and they brought me a box of stuff that they just wanted to get rid of and there was a gift box in there of this type of paint called quiet shy i'd never heard of it and i have done ten children's books i'm still ten children yes and i still hadn't heard of it and so i thought well i'll try cuz i have students who come in so that maybe they would like it so i tried it and i just fell in love with it yes but i'm standing here looking at these cards over your shoulder and you're holding one in your hand and you showing the front of them there are my three girls or three girls or me a s i recall the series the three girls and so it's my two good friends and myself and so this is how we feel some days but yes we do a lot of fun things so the series is called the i scan it in and then i'm able to reproduce things from this week and so i do all original artwork i mean traditional artwork i don't do anything on the computer but i do scan it into my computer and then i can make prints and that's why you have thirty of each card so yes carolyn stitch this is just such a delight and i know that people have heard of all year here every year i'm here this is my fourth year here i i think yes and i have a studio downtown and if anybody would like to come and see my work or draw or paint with me it's above model drugstore everybody can find that so there's stairs in the front and stairs in the back and just and you are majoring in nursing oh you're going to be a nurse yes and i'm getting older we've been having right here ok i'm going to go into my sophomore year in the fall freshman year yeah well that's wow what makes everything work in the city i want to just say hello to people you know say i didn't realize people were that consider doing the great things for the community so i will go on for another interview or two and tell the trees they had lumbered our property just before me moved in so we had a lot of stuff just laying on the ground we really don't need to cut anything down to make what we have so like this checkerboard diverse probably a and you took a slice off it was a couple trees man our front yard that we didn't want anymore so we had them taken down and that was last and i said well then to make a nice cool table my question is do you have brainteasers do i not remember these from the time i was a child you probably do the stuff that's long long people don't play with anymore and we brought on around and see if i can do this real quickly and not make now for a bit of a wrap up and i don't like that term simply because we're having such a great day he out here are in the park and when i say wait i'm speaking for error and he is one of the two people who are now employed in the shady to operate the city's television station and that's twenty four twenty five and twenty six to three stations and this is one of the on the spot on location programs that we hope to do more of and it's an example of what can be done and i also say that with sharing the point that if you have an idea if you have a thought community television means just means that it's about all of us everyone living in the holland area and if you have an idea or a program you'd like to put together or something you'd like probably a camera to celebrate we can't go to every family reunion we interviewed at the beginning being the director of all of this and we interviewed seven or eight i guess artists who are here who we hope we had a great variety but the walk through here today and there are next year with the ideas and the things you saw today come back next year and just share and see and buys the things that are always on display here and again as we talked to the various artists many from holland many from local areas the one gentleman from chicago you just meet and greet and share with people who are normally talented and this is a festival of people being able to come around and say if i'm not sure what creativity is come to the art in the park and you're going to say wow these people are phenomenal so again speaking for  the producer of this show and thanking him for getting this going and frank pride really stand by we shall reach his community every day let's keep it up let us know and the phone number at the office for aaron is three five five one dollar ninety eight three five five one four nine eight and if you have an idea whatever you just want to call in think they're on it'll say to him he's got kind of stuff going with that folks
