Follow the Drinking Gourd


Saturday I went to the Georgia National Fair in Perry, GA. It's a tradition amongst us Middle Georgians to go every year. There are 4H exhibits, quilts to admire, and of course rides and fair food! This year I had the pleasure of meeting a talented and gifted artist. I liked his work so much I bought a little finger piano. I wish I could afford the work of art behind him in the picuture below. He explains his work with such energy- he calls 'edutainment' a mix of education and entertainment. He travels around the country attending different fairs and festival. He also teaches classes! Check out his work. You're sure to be touched.
