Carlsbad Art and Culture

Thousands of locals and Carlsbad guests crawled the village streets during this year’s November Village Street Fair. The sun quickly awoke and danced high in the blue sky above hundreds of vendors. While sneakers scampered upon hot asphalt, crowing poultry scratched in the shady village landscaping…

15 individually painted roosters used the village streets as their stage; each one crowing the answer to a child friendly joke or riddle. Fair visitors were encouraged to visit Snyder Art to pick up a list of 15 jokes, prompting a search for each rooster and their corresponding answer.

As the sun itched its tired eyes, families returned to Snyder Art to pick up FREE t shirts and to share stories of their searches…

“This project made us visit every part of the fair, something we have never done in the past.”

“We were able to shop longer because our son didn’t want to leave until he found them all.”

“I watched people look at it all day. It made my job more enjoyable.”

“We loved this project… and so did our kids!”
