Dennis Ryan and Harold Daniels of the Lee County Electric Cooperative had a cherry picker, but Our Town the machinery couldn't get out to the beach to reach the bird, Kreuder said.

Seventeen years of BIG Arts Fairs By FRANK WAGNER Islander staff writer Irom little acorns, giant oak trees grow... The old F:saying could well be ap- plied to the growth of the BIG Arts Fair being held this weekend. This year the BIG Arts Fair will be cel- ebrating its 17th birthday. Admis- sion is $1; children under 12, ac- companied by an adult, will be ad- mitted free. There might have been a few doubting Thomases if entrants in the first Sanibel Arts and Crafts show in 1979 had been told that in 17 years the fair would grow from approxi- mately 40 entries, mostly local island artists, to an amazing group of 80 ex- hibitors from all over the country. Originally, the fair was a non- juried, open-application show with few restrictions on the number of artists specializing in the same field. But by 1986, the popularity of the fair, the enormous increase in atten- dance and the overpowering num- ber of requests from exhibitors for space caused BIG Arts to make sweeping changes. It became a juried fair with prizes, and a limited number of carefully screened artists in nine specific categories were al- lowed to participate in the fair. Those categories are the same today: ceramics, creative crafts, fiber, glass, graphics, jewelry, painting, photog- raphy and sculpture. Once the fair is set up and op- erating, it looks deceptively simple. One might even get the mistaken im- pression that a lamp is rubbed, a genie appears and it is an accom- plished fact. Nothing could be fur- Basketry by ther from the truth. One year's fair is no sooner Helen Bailer over than plans for the next year's event get under way.
