IGTB at Art-in-the-Park This Saturday

IGTB makes its first public appearance this Saturday, April 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the City of Oldsmar's 2nd Annual Art-in-the-Park.

Held at R. E. Olds Park -- yes, named after the same Ransom Eli Olds who developed the Oldsmobile and Reo cars in the late 1890s and early 1900s -- overlooking the beautiful upper end of Tampa Bay, Art-in-the-Park features area artisans and crafters demonstrating and selling their works, plus live entertainment, a children's area, and food concessions.

Special guests this year include Paper Airplane Artist Dean Mackey and Comic Book Illustrator Mark Pennington. Entertainment will include art lectures and demonstrations, poetry, dancing -- with a special appearance from the Indak Pambata Philippine Dancers -- and more. 


Look for Insiders' Guide® to the Greater Tampa Bay Area at the Clearwater Pen Women booth, which will be next to Formed & Fired: Creations in Clay . . . which will be next to the food concession! Sounds good to me . . .

The park is located at 107 Shore Drive W. in Oldsmar. Take SR580 from either Hillsborough or Pinellas County to St. Petersburg Dr. (there is a stop light).  Turn RIGHT (coming from Pinellas) or LEFT (coming from Hillsborough) -- either way you are turning toward Jack Willie's Tiki Bar & Grill. Follow St. Petersburg Dr. to Bayview Blvd. and turn RIGHT onto Shore Drive W. You should see the park. Warning: The marker on the Google map shows the park southeast of Bayview instead of northwest.
