935 Miles: Zebulon, NC to Bartlett, IL

We left Friday morning to go to the Bartlett Art Festival, 935 miles we arrive. We were in Detroit at the Royal Oak Clay & Glass show, an awesome festival right outside of Detroit. We had planned to stay up north for the two weekends but between selling so much work at Royal Oak and wanting to go home we ended up driving all the way to the Chicago area on Friday.

We gas prices up so high and the van getting about 13.5 miles to the gallon we had a $450 trip. The festival was pleasant but the attendance was quite low and rain disrupted the festival both days. We did end up selling a fair group of sculptures and the weekend in Royal Oak the weekend before made up the difference.

The mayor of Bartlett presented Luis Gutierrez the Mayors award.
