Jan Johnson and her 10-year-old daughter Alondra, both of Dunbar and both of the Limelight Theater Mime Troupe, smile for the camera before performing at the FestivALL Children’s Art Fair Sunday on Capitol Street in Charleston. Sunday was the last day for FestivALL 2015.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Nearly 100 vendors lined the sidewalks on Capitol Street on Sunday for the FestivALL Art Fair.
Betty Rivard, producer of the FestiVALL Art Fair, said she received excellent feedback from the public regarding the fair.
“Several people have said it was the best one ever and the artisans felt very good about it,” Rivard said.
Sunday was the last day of FestivALL events and Rivard said this year was extremely successful.
“One of the things we see every year is people plan reunions, family vacations, or events so they happen during FestivALL so they get the benefit of the activities here,” Rivard said. “We feel very proud of what Charleston has been able to offer both locally in the state and beyond the state.”
The public appreciated the high quality acts and performances in this year’s FestivALL, she said.
“One of the comments I hear over and over is how much talent we have in the state and what a great way this is to showcase our talent,” Rivard said. “The other comment is that this is an amazing team effort and the mayor has provided great leadership all the city departments pitch in.”
Rivard even saw team effort among the vendors on Saturday when storms rolled in…
