Hey y'all: I'm writing a little piece about Art on the Green mainly focusing on the musicians performing at the festival this year, but I wanted to include a bit about how
much it has grown over the years. Thing is, I wasn't quite born when it began and my parents were living out of town at the time, so I'm having trouble getting info about the early beginnings of the beloved art fest. So my question is, did any of you HBO readers out there attend Art on the Green during its first year (1968) or any of the earliest years? How many people were involved at the time? A lot of "hippies"? What kind of things did the merchants sell - lots of macrame and bread baskets? What was the food and entertainment like? Gimme some impressions of the early years - I would very much appreciate any input you might have...thanks! -- OrangeTV/Making Flippy Floppy
