WFSU’s Suzanne Smith follows the organizers of the LeMoyne Chain of Parks Fine Arts Festival to see what they have to do to put on this annual event. The Festival raises money for the LeMoyne Center for Visual Arts. Artists from around the country submit their applications. We are there for the artist deadline, the meetings, the printing, the fundraising, & the handling of the souvenirs.
