Having grown up in a house with an artist/blacksmith father, Omaha's summer art fair draws me. I enjoy the new mediums, the new ideas, and art with a flair of humor is pleasing. Omaha's Hot Shop has a booth of traditional blacksmithing. The smell of the forge and hot metal brings back my childhood days watching my dad make parts for the rancher's equipment. He did his share of decorative wrought iron as well.
A favorite event is a shady seat and listening to the Native American Music Group, Brule. They are a nice blend of classical training, Indian drumming and flute, all coming together in a sweet way. The father, Paul LaRoche, is joined by his daughter and son. This year we bought one of their new CD's, Lakota Piano II. It is beautiful
