center of town on the compass imbed-
ded in Main Street and Ann Arbor
Trail literally stopped the shopping
crowds to listen to the young people.
“We had no idea they would have
that impact or such a following,” Rork
said. “We are bringing them back
Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at 10
a.m.” Also returning will be George
Tait the living statue andmagicianwho
will be in the center of town fromnoon
until 4 p.m. and John Park, the juggler
and comedian who will perform at
noon, 3 and 6 p.m. inKelloggPark.
Children can participate in My
Adventure Theater in Kellogg Park at
1, 4, and 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday
and at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Rork said that this year, Princess
Caroline will also be strolling through
the crowds to charmyoungsters.
As usual, Art In The Park will
include several young artists in their
booths in Kellogg Park around the
fountain. Many of them return year
after year to show off and sell their
work anddo verywell.
Also in the park is the kids' mural,
an annual interactive event for young-
sters that encourages children to paint
a portion of a large mural that is then
dedicated to a local venuewhere it can
be displayed. This year, all three
murals will go to the new Plymouth
Arts andRecreationComplex (PARC).
The traditional attractions that Art
In The Park visitors have come to look
forward to will return, Rork said.
Sisters Kristen Dillenbeck Zipp and
Erin Dillenbeck will again be present-
ing the living mural and the sidewalk
art, respectively. The women, daugh-
ters of Sharon Lee Dillenbeck, a local
CantonTownship artist and owner of D
and M Art Studio, have each made
their mark in the art world. Zipp's
painting of live models into a large
mural-size artwork is an annual attrac-
tion not only at Art In The Park, but at
festivals across the country.
