Historical May 1979 report or notice. Original dates, prices, programs and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Sunday, May 13, 1979, will mark the twelfth year of the Skinker-DeBaliviere Art Fair-House Tour, held annually on Mother’s Day. On that day, the 6100 block of Kingsbury will be closed to traffic from noon to 5 p.m., for, during these hours, the street will become a tree-lined walkway where over 100 artists will display their work and compete for cash prizes.
Tickets for the House Tour will be on sale at the Information Booth and at each of the houses on the tour. Free bus transportation will be provided for those who wish to travel the route outlined in the map inside this paper. These buses are provided through the cooperation of Washington University. Parking for the fair will also be provided on the campus, with shuttle buses running to the fair. We encourage everyone to make use of this convenient way to come to the Art Fair.
For other special activities, as well as places to stop for refreshments, see other features and advertisements in this issue of The Paper. Don’t miss the calliope, which will be making merry on the lot of the Kingsbury Animal Hospital. And don’t forget to buy a T-shirt, the proceeds of which benefit The Paper, and have a grand day at the Fair.
