A Successful Day of Culture in Colchester

Colchester, IL – If you like art and music, then you should have been in downtown Colchester on Saturday. The first Colchester Arts Festival was such a success that organizers are already talking about plans for next year. The works of 25 artists were displayed and a couple bands performed during the seven hour event. Hundreds and hundreds of people came to listen to the music, look at the art, and perhaps spend some money. The festival was put together by the Colchester Art Club, which was formed just a few months ago. The group's members say they got the word out about the festival through art teachers, businesses, and a lot of phone calls.
