Brookside Art Fair

May 4, 2007 | 5 Comments

Today through Sunday is the annual Brookside Art Fair, a great opportunity to peruse the work of local and national artists while playing frogger with the dogs and SUV-sized strollers.

Save yourself the parking nightmare and take the bus.  The MAX and #57 South Oak routes both provide service to Brookside from park-and-ride lots at 3rd & Grand in the River Market and 75th & Wornall in Waldo.

    “frogger with the dogs and SUV-sized strollers?” Where’s this sense of humor coming from? I like it! :-)

    Seriously folks, come check out the art fair. It’s great. And definitely take the MAX. There is no suburban-style parking.

    Visited the art fair on Saturday, pushing someone who is wheelchair confined. Yes, there were a lot of people, but 99.9% of the crowd was very courteous and hospitable, as I usually find in KC crowds at events like this (where the consumption of alcohol is not the focus of the event). Parking . . . not living near a bus line . . . I had no problem. The school PTA was offering close parking in the school lots for a very reasonable $3. Now, if the rain will stop for a while, I might go back again today.

    I really think dogs should be banned from these shows. I can accept strollers (although I’d rather not) and cell phones (bigger issue) but I really see no reason to bring dogs. Another blogger mentioned wanting to provoke the dogs to see how strong (and rich) the owners were. I think a nice passive aggressive protest is in order, next year let’s all rent a half dozen dogs each and go to the show.

    I agree, dogs definitely don’t belong at crowded events. I actually don’t even feel they belong in cities, but dogs don’t appreciate or buy art, so the reason to bring them to an art fair is………I’m waiting……….

    I’m tired of having strollers roll across my feet and side stepping dogs……..can’t you please leave your dogs at home, I’m sure they’re not enjoying the art! Have any of you heard of backpacks for your little ones? Keeps your hands free…….the aisles are just too small as it is for dogs and strollers!
