Over the Memorial Day weekend Chattanooga was treated to a folk art festival. The third annual Who-Fest was held in Chattanooga. Despite some weather, dozens of folk artists set up shop and a good crowd came out to see their work.

The festival brought talented artists from all over. There was a great variety of art forms, from painting and sculpture to hand crafts and glass blowing. All amazing.

Kimberly Dawn was one of the many fabulous artists who displayed their work. Kimberly is also an established illustrator of children's books. Percy Porcupine and No More Handprints are two of her books. |
Music variety was also provided for the crowd who wanted to set on the open grassy Hill Overlook at Renaissance Park.

An added feature was the location. Renaissance Park is an example of Chattanooga's commitment to renewal and a tribute to its past. The park is open and grassy. The site of Who-Fest very appropriately overlooks the Renaissance Wetland, a 1.5 acre man-made, natural water filtration site.
