When I think of State College in July, I think of one thing – – the Arts Festival.  I haven’t missed it in over 10 years and it has such sweet memories for me.  Over the years, it has progressed from a relaxed and casual event for hours on end with my mother, to a quick and stressful walk through with a nursing infant and finally to a wet and fun time in the water buckets on Allen Street.  It seems that State College residents have a highly varied opinion on the arts fest – – some love it, some hate it.  I, for one, love it.  I love the energy it brings into town, I love the inspiration in the booths, I love the food, I love the people, I even strangely love the traffic.
