Maycee Bolt stops by Color Me Crazy! Face Painters booth at the Hansen Museum’s Arts & Crafts Fair. Fifty-four fantastic crafters set up shop on the Hansen Plaza for the 50th Annual Hansen Museum Arts and Crafts Fair this past Saturday. Fair goers happily shopped their way around the Plaza lawn. As they wandered around the square browsing the booths and catching up with friends, they were serenaded with excellent music. On the south stage, Formerly Three, a dynamic musical duo, offered the crowd a musical feast of hit songs from a wide variety of years. Spencer Hansen’s smooth voice lent itself superbly to any genre and his keyboard skills morphed in and out of styles just as silkily as his voice. Keeping the beat, Chad Scharff kept Spencer pulsing along with his expert drumming skills. On the north stage, 80 Proof Alice delighted listeners with their incredible instrumentation! In true Bluegrass fashion, these three harmonized impeccably. It was indeed a toe-tapping, finger-snapping, happy-purchasing good time.
