While the number of booths was about the same as past years, the number of visitors to the Salida Arts Festival on Saturday and Sunday was much higher this year, Susan Bethay, wife of organizer Jerry Scavezze, said.
In the past the festival was set up at Centennial Park, but due to construction of the new skate park, it was moved to Riverside Park this year. Bethay said theyâd like to continue holding the festival at Riverside.
Bethay said they had 66 booths, about the same as past festivals. While some of the artists were local, others came from as far away as Florida and Washington.

Her 2017 silver Hyundai Elantra was stolen Feb. 8 from in front of her house on the northwest side of Milwaukee. Her car was found on the south side the next day with a broken back passenger window, damaged rear bumper and passenger quarter panel, and peeled down steering column.
The damage came to $5,000, and she still owes $10,000 on the car. To compound matters, she missed an insurance payment and didn’t have insurance when the car was swiped.
“They ruined my car, and I couldn’t even trade it in because the dealership said it had too much damage,” she said.

Dawn graduated from Evansville High School in the class of 1944.
