Tips for Parking and Prepping

OK guys, information technology's and then important to properly ready for your fine art fair adventure and know what to expect so you tin can have a great time. Look total sun and all pavement with TONS of walking. This is an all day show.

Then...habiliment a broad brimmed hat, slather on SPF lxx or higher sunscreen, wearable calorie-free and airy wearable and athletic shoes. Bring water and $ane bills to buy more throughout the solar day from the street vendors.

I hear ladies saying all the fourth dimension that they wished they weren't wearing "these cute shoes" because afterwards 4 hours of walking in 90 degree rut you will exist cranky and nobody wants that. It'due south not cute. It'due south enough piece of work to stay pleasant in the rut without existence sunburned and your anxiety hurting.

WHERE TO PARK: Nosotros detect it very user-friendly to park at the Briarwood Mall located at 100 Briarwood Cir, Ann Arbor, MI 48108. It's very hard and sometimes expensive to try and find parking closer to the show. Taking the buses from the mall is our get-to parking location.

Plus yous tin can pop in the mall to utilise the restroom and get a potable if you traveled a distance to get at that place.

It's but $3 for a round trip ticket and the buses are overnice and air conditioned. Just expect to wait a scrap to get on the charabanc.

Note: There is another coach from the high school that picks up and drops off at the same location at the fair and so make certain you are getting in the correct autobus when returning from the art fair.
