THE BUSKERS ARE COMING... Hello! On behalf of the Old Milford Merchants Association, We'd like to introduce our newest event - this fall's.......BUSKERFEST! WHAT: Old Milford Busker Fest and Artisan Show - an event featuring Buskers (see below) and artisans - free to the public WHEN: Saturday, October 1, 2005 - will begin at 12:00 p.m. and end at 6:00 p.m. WHERE: In historic downtown Milford. Specifically, on Main Street - which is also U.S. RT. 50. Main Street will be closed from Mill heading east to Locust Street WHO: This event is being organized by the Old Milford Merchants Association WHAT IS A BUSKER? You have most likely seen and been entertained by a busker before and don't even know it! Buskers are street performers who earn money by generating tips. The term "busker" includes: clowns, living statues, mimes, magicians, sidewalk artists, dancers, and much more! Although Buskers are very popular in Europe and other countries, they can be found almost everywhere in America too. Perhaps you've seen and enjoyed the magicians and occassional juggler performing at Findlay Market on Saturdays. Our event will feature all types of Buskers.  WHAT ELSE WILL THIS EVENT ENTAIL? The festival will also feature an Artisan show. These artists will be demonstrating their specific form of art and will also in some cases, offer their items for sale. Some examples of artisans who will be at the event are: local potters demonstrating how to throw a pot, weavers demonstrating how to make wool, painters, and so forth. We ask that you mention our event in your upcoming issue (or the date appropriate issue) as this will be the first ever BUSKER FEST AND ARTISAN SHOW in the area and we hope to generate as large a crowd as possible!
