\"A2_28\"<\/a>Steve and I have been going to the Ann Arbor Art Fair<\/a> every year since 1995.  Back then I sat on a curb and did hair wraps for $1 an inch to make some extra cash during college, but now we get to enjoy and indulge in the many beautiful art pieces showcased during this wonderful event.\"A2_29\" <\/p>\n

In addition to the artist tents, there are many talented street performers scattered about… along with great live music and dancers, plus fun kids activities.<\/p>\n
