Tampa Bay Art Shows
Posted by Calum and Kathleen MacKenzie on Monday, December 21st, 2009 at 2:51pm.With cooler weather finally approaching, it's time to think about escaping the confines of our air conditioned homes. One of our favorite outdoor, cool weather events are the local art shows and festivals. These are fun events for both of us, Kathy likes checking out the local artists and I like checking out the local food vendors.
This last weekend we headed to South Tampa for the fall Hyde Park Village Art Fair. It's one of the smaller shows and comes around twice year, spring and fall. Hyde Park is a picturesque setting with the center green and surrounding shops and it was great place for a Sunday morning stroll. It was great to see some of our favorite regulars like Jim Gerard Holehouse and the German Frank from Hofmann's Sausage ...pretty tasty.
