In Lawrence, the Art in the Park festival drew a sunny Sunday crowd to the 27th annual event. About 15 artists demonstrated crafts while more than $4,000 was raised for the Lawrence Art Guild through concessions and a 10 percent artist commission. Diana Dunkley, who sold her first work at this fair, won a best-of award for two-dimensional art among others, with Dave Van Hee taking best of show for jewelry and masks.
