To tell you truthfully, running the Show Low Main Street Farmers’ Market & Art Walk has been keeping me so busy lately that I don’t always get about town to as many local events as I’d like, but the ones I did manage to make were a blast. I was able to catch a brief part of the Mountain Motorcycle Association of Arizona’s 3rd annual “Rally in the Cool Pines”, held at the Cabin in Overgaard. Featuring lots of bikes, vendors, on-site tattoos, “rent-a-rider” with …

by Ashly Wintersmith, junior reporter, age 11
As many of you regular Kidsview readers know, a few months ago (November, to be exact), I wrote an article on art and how a lot of kids don’t appreciate it. Now, since the Show Low Main Street Farmers’ Market & Art Walk (put on by my mom, in case you didn’t know) is coming up (opening day is May 15th—mark your calendars!), this month I’m going to focus on art’s frequent comrade: crafts.
