TWT JANUARY 28 - FEBRUARY 3, 1983 PAGE 15 PAGE 14 TWT JANUARY 28 - FEBRUARY 3. 1983 "The enthusiasm of the festival and the nature of its popularity growth over the years has drawn unoffical exhibitors who the Association feel are not repre- senting the highest caliber of artistic quality we're trying to maintain," Rentz continued. "In addition, we have had to turn away many qualified artists from our shows due to the lack of street front property available to us for booth space," he added, "and that's where the Association feels our control must be restored before we can continue to sponsor these festivals in the future." After the October 1982 festival, TWT NEWS had learned that three basic fac- tors had combined to cause specula- tion about cancellation of future fes- tivals: 1)There were too many vendors selling low caliber merchandise of a non-artistic nature; 2) there were too many retailers unwilling to rent space to qualified artists; 3) operational costs such as sanitation facilities, garbage pickup and additional police security had escalated immeasurably. The cost was further emphasized by Rentz, who stated that the Westheimer Colony Association had recently writ- ten the Houston City Parks Director a letter turning over their control and maintenance of the Westheimer Colony Plaza to the city, stating the Associa- tion could no longer afford the upkeep on the property during this period of re- organization. In its first decade, the semi-annual arts and crafts show was canceled on- ly one other time, in October 1980. In April 1982, the City Council and Mayor Kathy Whitmire worked with the Association to set up standards which were passed in a City Ordinance clos- ing off traffic during the festival for the first time, between the 100-1000blocks of Westheimer. The festival, which began in 1973 as the Westheimer Art Festival, had be- come one of the city's most popular ar- tistic events drawing artists, crafts peo- ple, photographers, sculptors and designers from across the nation, Canada, Mexico and Europe. ,\Wf

Politics, meetings and vendettas were cited as reasons for severing the ties with the MSA umbrella group. "Our membership is primarily interested in playing tennis," Cor- der explained. "We will continue to refer friends and new members to MSA for other sports, as we have done in the past." MSA director, Jim Reagan, responded to TWT SPORTS by wishing the new club success. However, he announced that MSA will con- tinue to have its own tennis sub-group and those interested in reforming and playing it in under the MSA banner could reply to P.O. Box 22272, Houston 77227, or call (713) 622-3304. Fort Worth Thus, it appears to TWT SPORTS that Houston is certain to have two tennis leagues-one non-MSA and one under MSA.
