Commercial fair

What happened to the Fountain Hills Arts and Crafts Fair? I have missed the last few fairs but attended the one last weekend. I didn't recognize it!

Now it has become a commercial event. Juried windshield replacement? Booths selling items made in China? Food court like an afterthought?

Now it is perceived to be just a money-maker, not an arts and crafts fair. Who decided to make the transition to a Chamber event? I want the Arts and Crafts Fair back and so do the artists and craftsmen I talked to. Put Sharon Morgan back in charge!
