Whether you were in the market for practical art like Michael Nagy’s ceramic bowls and candleholders, one of Arden Mays’s Plant City landscapes or a colorful hat made by Betty Jones, there was something for everyone at Art in the Park in Walden Lake today, Oct. 6.
Fine art sat next to halloween crafts and fall decorations. Artists from Plant City, Valrico and Brandon involved with the East Hillsborough Art Guild and the Art Lounge among others were present.
The First United Methodist Church’s youth group was on site serving up food to raise money and promote the pumpkin patch at the church.
Besides artwork, there was a popular booth set up by Parrotz-R-Us, a Lakeland based bird enthusiast group which seeks to inform the public about exotic birds. The booth brought art spectators from around the grounds to view three vibrant birds that had been rescued.
The festival ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
