Signs, Signs: No Skating

I obeyed the lakeside signs and neither went skating nor tried my hand at ice fishing.

SkyWatch Friday: Stephens Lake

Swimming area on Stephens Lake (Columbia, MO)

From the archives and back to a warmer day last summer. Too bad I couldn't join in the swimming. Instead, Jo and I had a booth set up on the other side of the lake and were participating in Art in the Park sponsored by the Columbia Art League. Still, Stephens Lake Park is a beautiful setting for and art fair.

SkyWatch Friday: Stephens Lake

Stephens' Lake

The swimming area on Stephens' Lake in Columbia, MO. This small lake is divided in half by a walkway and artificial island. Half of the lake is for swimming. The other half is for fishing.

The lake and adjoining city park provide a beautiful setting for an art fair. However, other aspects of the park are not so good for selling artwork and fine crafts -- like the park has no parking. There are a couple of small lots that I'm sure are adequate for the park's regular users. However, because these lots would be totally inadequate for the art fair crowd, they are reserved for exhibitor and handicapped parking during the show. The art fair patrons are expected to take a shuttle to the site.

Since Art in the Park was moved to this site three years ago, our sales are about half of what they were prior to the move.

No Skating

With a temperature in the eighties, I did not do any skating -- and the only ice I fished was from out of our ice chest.
