Endless Summer Fest Coverage

The Endless Summer Fest was put on by The Turning Point Youth Collective. You can learn more about their efforts at turningpointyouthcollective.org


Dirt City Zine had a booth where they displayed information about their charitable organization Dirt City Missions. They also had delicious "Dirt Tea" going for a dollar a cup.


The Dirt City product consisted of self-designed articles of clothing, canvas grocery bags to discourage waste, self-bound blank journals created by Claire Mitchell, and quite a few fun items with their logos all over them. The most important part of their booth was the fact that the money collected is going towards their first Mission in March 2009 to Odessa, Ukraine.


This booth was entitled "Gertrude" run by Alisa Buselli (alisabuselli.com), James Hartsell (myspace.com/theglonga), and Crystal Evans. Photography, artwork, records, books, and crafts all made up a neat swap meet.


The artwork to the right belongs to Brendan Manning. You can contact him and see more of his work at http://www.myspace.com/artmusiclife3.


The suitcases really grabbed your eye, being the first booth seen as you're walking in. 3 artists shared these tables: Sherise Epstein (www.sheriseepstein.com), Bernadette Wall, and Josiah Lloyd all shared a similar media, but left them being so very different from one another.




Here's photography by Kim Kuhn, urban landscapes and conceptual portraits. The paintings in the back are pieces by Eric Marzinko.

It's nice to see so many talents pulled together in a town that seems to smother fires that burn wildly. It was a long day for most and the turn-out wasn't what most had hoped for. The fact that people came out at all, of all ages and character, was much appreciated. Hopefully minds were opened to new ideas and lifestyles in one way or another. You'd never believe the impact one person can have on another. I hope to see more positive activities in the days to come.
