Last week's high temperatures and
oppressive humidity caused many people to
skip enduring sweat-drenched faces and sticky
T-shirts to attend this year's Ann Arbor Art
Fairs.
"The heat held down the sales mainly
because out-of-staters decided not to come into
Ann Arbor," said Jeff Kidder, a wood artist
from Minnesota who noticed a 35 percent

Kidder was disappointed. For the past three

for the big rush with extra staff and supplies,

on South Fourth Ave., and The Brown Jug on
South University St.

Festival Judith Katch believes that artists
thought "the fair was better run this year than
ever before." She said, however that "artists
did not sell as much this year because of the
heat."
"With the absence of the heat, people
would have stayed longer," Katch said.
