flavors of ice cream. During the fair
Baskin Robbins is selling Chilly

" Jason's on 215 S. State, is an ice
cream lover's delight. Featuring
Haagen Dazs and Miller's ice cream,
this parlor also offers a bit of the exotic

bananas or strawberries, the ever-
popular ice cream cookie sandwiches
and even reduced-calorie ice cream.
- JB Chips, next door to Jason's,
created the original ice cream cookie
sandwich - vanilla ice cream trapped
between two large chocolate chip
cookies, made fresh daily in the store.
JB Chips recently added Costello's
Gourmet ice cream to their menu.
- Hur's Campus Cafe, on the corner of
East William and Thompson Streets,
offers a medium-sized variety of ice
cream cones and sundaes. Service is
slow, so expect a line.
" Lovin' Spoonful is the city's
premiere ice cream parlor. Located at
330 S. Main and voted the city's best
ice cream parlor in a Daily poll, Lovin'
Spoonful has the most unique selection
of flavors, all homemade, including the
house specialty: Oreo cookie ice cream.
* Drakes Sandwich Shop, at 709 N.
University, has been in Ann Arbor for
more than 50 years, whipping up sun-
daes and grilled pecan rolls for its loyal
patrons. In addition to the largest selec-
tion of taste-tantalizing candy in town.
a Limeade at Drakes is a fresh-
squeezed treat not to be missed.
* Pizza Bob's, two locations at 814 S.
State and 618 Church, boast the only
soft-serve ice cream in art fair
territory. Sublime shakes, swirled with
the likes of either hot fudge or carmel
and wilder mixes. such as lemon-
almond or banana-strawberry are a
smooth end to a long day at the fair.
The art fair can be exhausting, but
with Ann Arbor's heaping selection of
ice cream parlors, the toughest part
might be deciding where to enjoy your,
favorite scoop.
Common sense key to art fair survival

home. Uncomfortable shoes may look great but they
will slow you down and leave you with blisters-the
most common and dreaded art fair malady.
The first aid station will be located at the corner of
South University and East University.
BE SURE TO pack some kind of protection from
the sun along with your comfortable shoes, too. While
the city has no shortage of large, shady trees, most of
the fair is out in the open and fair-skinned visitors will
need hats or sunscreen.
If you're armed with good shoes and light summer
clothes like the unfashionable but comfortable State
Street woman, you might make it through the ex-
travaganza unscathed. But the American Red Cross
gives an added warning - fairgoers who fail to eat or
drink properly may find their day cut short by heat
exhaustion or even sunstroke.
Sunstroke occurs when the body becomes so hot
and dehydrated that its sweat mechanism is blocked
entirely. While the victim may be hot and thirsty, his
or her skin will be dry to the touch. Eventually the
victim will faint, requiring immediate medical care.
HEAT EXHAUSTION victims will feel hot and
sluggish and may suffer from severe muscle cramps.
According to the Red Cross, rest and plenty of liquids
are the best remedies for this affliction.
"People just need to use common sense and a little
prevention" to survive the art fair, said Susan Brown
of the Washtenaw County chapter of the Red Cross.

fairs. The work of 250 artists from
around the country will be featured as
well as an exhibit by the Potter's Guild,
a local group of clay sculpters.
The Street ArtFair began in 1960 as a
way to attract shoppers to summer
bargain days, and drew only 99 artists
who hung their works on ropes strung
between parking meters. But despite
humble beginnings, the fair has grown
into a tremendous success. Now, Ann
Arbor Street Art Fair directors must
limit the number of artists they invite to
250..
" The State Street Area Art Fair
began in 1968 and is the smallest of the
three fairs, with oily 147 artists
exhibiting everything from ceramics
and paintings to photography. This fair
stretches from North University to
State Street (in front of the State
Theater) down to Maynard and Liber-
ty Streets.
" The University Artists and Craf-
tsmen Guild sponsors the largest por-
tion of the fair-The Summer Arts
Festival-on Main Street and State
Street (between William and South
University).
All fairs run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Wednesday through Friday and 9 a.m.-
6 p.m. Saturday.
