I was not impressed at all. This was an extremely small festival and not very well put together. I was disappointed with the parking situation and the fact that you had to pay $5 to park, then walk across the street dodging cars. Yes, they did have officers directing traffic, but the cars did not pay any attention to them, and I saw a Seminole Deputy almost get ran over twice.
The art was arranged in a maze, and vendors were thrown in next to art. When I come to an Art Show, I don't want to be harressed to purchase a subscribition to the NY Times or the evaulate my cable needs.
The kids things were thrown into the back like an afterthought, and it was very difficult to find, and it turned out to be a few bouncy houses and nothing else.
The car show was crap. I have seen much larger shows in a Taco Bell parking lot on a Friday night.
On the plus side, I did see several good new local artists, and several that I have seen and enjoy seeing at other festivals each year.
Next year, I will be headed to Halifax to see what Volusia County has to offer. Also, for any art lovers, the Deland Festival is coming again next week.

Volusia County Fair
I got a chance to check out the Volusia County Fair. We had a lot of fun, as fairs go. Thursday night was free admission and $1 rides, so the place was packed. Check out the website for more information and the various prices through out the week. Little tip... The funnel cake is cheaper at the gates then it is at the midway, you will save $1. Have a great week and great adventures!

Halloween Weekend
Unfortunately, we were unable to go out this weekend due to a sick child, but I heard there were several great haunted houses and activities!
This weekend, the Volusia County Fair is back and the Lake Mary Heathrow Festival of the Arts. We will be attending the Art Festival this weekend since it is only available for one weekend. I hope to see you out and about.
