Buffalo Rising Online

The 50th Anniversary of the 2007 Allentown Arts Festival is well underway, bringing crowds to the streets of Buffalo to celebrate the Arts (and of course, good food). Buffalo Rising was out early, and we're going to be providing you with a series of predictions to what this year's "must have" item is going to be, as well as highlighting some of the more unusual and beautiful items to be found. This post will feature vendors found South of Allen Street. It's a little early to see what everyone is carrying around this year, but we found a few items that were certainly worthy of attention. Just a note, this isn't to say what the "best" art at the Festival is -- just a guessing game about what the most popular item for sale this year will be. What's your vote?

First up were a collection of hanging garden ornaments, unique with quirky faces., These could be a great addition to late a summer garden, overgrown and looking as if it were part of the very trees.
