While the sun did come out later in the afternoon, the 2011 Wayzata Art Experience started out soggy and stayed that way for a good portion of Saturday.

Few people attended the show early on, as showers kept art enthusiasts away until later in the afternoon.  Volunteers and staff of the Wayzata Chamber putting the show on, kept busy while smiling as the rain drenched everything on Lake Street.  Wayzata Art Experience Chairwoman Ellen Timmerman-Borer kept the blues away by dancing on Lake Street.

Take a moment or two to walk up and down Lake Street in Wayzata and see all the people and artists at the Wayzata Art Experience.
