Linda and I wandered to Mt Gretna for the annual Art Show on Saturday. Mt. Gretna is a very small resort town (population 242) in the mountains about 10 miles east of Hershey. The juried art show, in its 39th year, had about 200 fine artists and what looked to be about 100 crafters. Having lived in Michigan for almost 16 years, I had seen many of the same artists over and over in different art fairs. This, of course, was a whole new group of artists from all over the east. There were many forms of art I had never seen before. The show also showcased local and regional singers who were very very good, and the food court included only local restaurants.
The charrn of Mt. Gretna is in its historical homes (most were built in the early 1900's) that can be rented throughout the year; its local theater company, outdoor summer concerts, its lake and its beach.

While we were sitting at a table, a butterfly and moth landed on the flowers. The butterfly landed on the opposite side from me, but here's the moth. I have no idea what kind of flowers these are, but they are very pretty. Does anyone know?
Next year, if I am still in central PA, I would love to volunteer for this show. It was a wonderful way to spend the day.
Have a good day, everyone!
