Dev Khalsa, her daughter and sister enjoy the goods at Sun Valley's Arts and Crafts Festival
A spate of rain and chilly temperatures has passed, and while it dampened (a lot) of last weekend’s many events it didn’t completely have its way. The symphony played on. The Sun Valley Arts & Crafts Festival painted itself out of a cool corner, and the valley’s many additional events also persevered. And why not? There are only a few weeks left in our precious summer season, so get out and enjoy them now that fair summer weather has returned.
