Shoes and the Art Fair

Seeing that we are sponsoring the Ann Arbor Art Fair right now I came across a fascinating article in the Free Press today, which seems to sum up the experience for everybody who goes to it. Especially the first four sentences which illustrate the festival experience in a general way.

Planning to go to the Ann Arbor Art Fairs this weekend?

Art is NOT the first thing you should think of.

Shoes are.

There's so much cool, beautiful, fascinating and fun stuff to see at the 50th annual Ann Arbor Art Fairs that you need time and good shoes to take it all in.

Having been to the festival and a few similar others, this quote really hits it on the nail. Festivals are fun but they take up a lot of space that you can't drive around in, the solution? You walk. For some people that can be fairly difficult, but if one appreciates culture it's probably best to take it all in as part of the experience.

Of course if you don't want to walk from your parking spot you can always take the shuttle if you want.

Free Limo Drive/Dinner for two drawing

At the Golden Limousine booth during the Townie Party this past Monday we had people submit names for a drawing for a romantic dinner for two at Hobbes Restaurant with a complimentary limo ride thrown in by us. The results should be in shortly just as soon as our President Sean Duval announces it. Hopefully we'll have photos from the Party soon as well.

Art Fair Shuttle

With the Ann Arbor Art Fair in town there can be a lot of congestion out on the road and it can be an incredible hassle to find a parking space. So much so that in the past that many have stayed away from the festival missing out on the chaotic fun of the festival.

Fortunately nobody needs to worry about that anymore.

Golden Limousine will be running a shuttle from Skyline High School (directions to the Art Fair from 9:45 AM till 7 PM. The shuttles run every 15 minutes because that's the approximated driving distance between the two points. The Art Fair runs from today through Saturday and is one of the biggest Art Festivals in the United States.

With the way the economy has been recently, this event is crucial for many of the artists who are selling their work to be there, so if you appreciate art and the artists who create it, you should be there to support them and their creativity.

Townie Party Tonight

It's a beautiful day for a festival and if the weather's like it is today the Art Fair should be even better. Tonight however is host to the annual Townie Party where there will be bands and booths, including ours, from 5 pm to 9:30 pm. Lots of stuff to check out but while you're there be sure to see what's going on at our booth and talk to the people there. Ask about Golden Limousine and remember to speak loudly because it's gonna be rockin'. Original post here.

There's going to be helium balloons, information and a bus out there for whoever wants to take a look at what we have to offer. Please Please Please, check it out.

Art Fair Townie Party

The Ann Arbor Art Fair starts on Wednesday July 15, and as a business in town we at Golden Limousine are proud to sponsor it. Although the fair has had an unfair reputation for holding up traffic in the area, it is also one of the most interesting things that happens in this town over what is normally a quiet summer with most of the students gone from the University of Michigan. It gives a sense of excitement to what normally can be a fairly dull summer in town. To celebrate and give back to the town that puts on this affair, they are throwing a Townie Party to show their appreciation for the city two days before the fair starts on Monday July 13.

(If you scroll down in the link you'll see a familiar logo amongst the sponsors.)

It will be a festive atmosphere for certain and there will be three bands playing the whole night (not at the same time) which should make for a fun and funky time for everybody down there. And for those who either want to get to the fair or the Townie Party in style you can always count on Golden to be there for you.
