If you were among the several visitors, including myself, to lose an item at the Fountain Hills Festival of Arts and Crafts, don’t despair.
Your possessions might have been turned into Lost and Found, a service provided by the Chamber of Commerce.
By early Sunday morning, events manager Sharon Morgan said a box of recovered items included five credit cards, sunglasses, car keys and ignition fobs, cell phones, ceramic platters purchased at a vendor’s booth, a child’s toy motorcycle and Tractor Supply baseball cap.

If you were among the several visitors, including myself, to lose an item at the Fountain Hills Festival of Arts and Crafts, don’t despair.
Your possessions might have been turned into Lost and Found, a service provided by the Chamber of Commerce.
By early Sunday morning, events manager Sharon Morgan said a box of recovered items included five credit cards, sunglasses, car keys and ignition fobs, cell phones, ceramic platters purchased at a vendor’s booth, a child’s toy motorcycle and Tractor Supply baseball cap.
The chamber will hold the items for a couple of weeks for the owners to claim, said Morgan. The Chamber telephone number is 480-837-1654.
In the case of the credit cards, the bank will be notified of the recovered card.
Over the years, one of the more unusual found items was one child’s shoe, said Morgan.
The Chamber booth frequently has helped both lost children and adults. Morgan recalled the time a disoriented female visitor couldn’t locate her parked vehicle.
“When we asked her where she came into the festival, all she could remember is near a brown building. More than half the buildings along the Avenue are brown,” laughed Morgan.
A staffer took the woman in a golf cart around the parking lots until she located her car.
And yes, my glasses and I were reunited, thanks to a thoughtful vendor in whose booth I mistakenly left them while photographing her crafts.
