Every year, hundreds of vendors from 40 different states line the streets of downtown State College and parts of campus for Arts Fest. This is an exciting time for artists, as thousands of poten- tial customers stroll through the streets over the four-day festival, checking out what vendors of all different skills and craft have to offer. So, how do these vendors get a spot at Arts Fest? Artists will first have to apply through the festival’s online application portal. They must Lindsey Shuey/Collegian submit four images of their The interior of Doggie’s Raths- work and one image of their booth with their work displayed, keller & Garden is ready to serve Executive Director Rick Bryant patrons on Wednesday, July 11. said.

Page 4 SPoRTS July 12-18, 2018 Tommy Stevens: a Nittany Lion enigma By Thomas Schlarp THE DAILY COLLEGIAN

Many things surrounding Penn State football remain crystal clear. Names will not FOOTBALL be worn on backs of jerseys, James Franklin will hold a press conference on Tuesday afternoons and the Blue Band drum major will stick a front-flip at midfield on game day. But, some things remain a bit less certain. The number one question mark surrounding the Nittany Lions’ team wears number two. Tommy Stevens is a complete enigma. Officially listed as the starting “Lion” on the Fiesta Bowl roster, just exactly what Stevens’ role will be for the upcoming season remains a mystery. Even the redshirt junior quarterback is unsure of what lies ahead in 2018. “That’s a good question,” Stevens said about his posi- Collegian file photo tion at Penn State’s annual Penn State quarterback Tommy Stevens (2) runs the ball during the game against Nothwestern, held at Ryan Field on Oct. 7, 2017.
