Allentown Art Festival

The Allentown Art Festival is tomorrow and sunday. I've never been before but I'm looking forward to going now that I live within a two minutes of the festival. I am a bit skeptical though, mainly due to my suburban upbrining. What am I skeptical of? Prices.

My childhood was full of festivals from the Williamsville Old Days Festival to the Canal Fest. I always enjoyed these (and still due) mainly for the fact that most things purchased are reasonable priced and unique. After having lived sometime downtown I get the sense of "artist prices". Basically meaning that artist think because they are who they are that they can ask 150$ for a art print. To me, not so much.I am being a bit skeptical though, and I suppose I'll just have to experience it for myself and come to my own conclusion.

*Actual experience to come tomorrow.
