The day was sunny, warm and beautiful. More artists than ever before were displaying their work, and it seemed as though nearly everyone was there. Sunday, May 9, 1976, the neighborhood had a most successful Art Fair-House Tour.
The figures aren’t available, but it appears that all of the neighborhood fund-raisers were very successful. The artists seemed happy, and the problems were very small ones.
The co-chairmen of the fair would like to extend special thanks to each person who worked so hard and contributed so much to make this year’s Fair and Tour the success it was. Without all of you the Fair would never have happened so smoothly, if at all. Also a special thanks to you who gave up your homes for the day to make the house tour one of the best ever.
