Delray Affair

The Delray Affair is a huge art festival every April in Delray Beach, Florida.  They close down the main drag through the city and there are hundreds of people selling their masterpieces.  There are a lot of food vendors, and entertainment for everyone.  It's a very nice affair.

This is just a sampling of some of the art that I found interesting.




This kid had it made!



Artwork on gourds!




There were a lot of vendors selling dog clothing.
Personally, I don't think dogs need to wear clothes!

Seriously?!







This was some very unique and beautiful art.  The artist cut pieces out of China.  She then took the cut-out piece and made jewelry out of it.  I just found it a very cool idea.







THIS WAS DELICIOUS!



Some kids drumming on trash cans. They were good!











THE CORN WAS SO GOOD!


No shortage of delicious-looking food!

NICE HAIR!


This was a fantastic animal rescue organization at the art show.  They had a lot of cats, kittens and doggies for adoption.  The dogs were all so sweet and just looking for loving homes.  There's no reason to ever buy a purebred dog -- these dogs all need good homes and would be wonderful additions to any family!






These doggies were brought to the art show by their humans.  I never understood why you would drag around a little dog on a hot day where there are a million people. Some dogs rode around in fancy strollers, and others were just dragged around on leashes.  Dogs should be in dog parks, not where they can be stepped on; most appeared to be frightened by the large crowd and all the commotion.



This little guy was being reprimanded for trying to get out of his stroller.  I am sure he was VERY embarrassed being in a stroller!














This poor little guy; his human was pushing 2 little humans in a double-stroller and just dragging him around.  I am sure he would have rather been home lounging around in the air conditioning!




"Where's Timmy?"



















This poor pup -- his owner stopped at one of the little "doggie boutiques" to buy him a hat.  He had a look on his face like, "Oh, please don't make me wear a dumb hat."


Owner wasn't listening -- he got the dumb hat!


He looks THRILLED, doesn't he??


This is what belongs in a baby stroller -- a baby!
