A recession is probably not the best time to quit a job as a dental hygienist to try to make it as a full-time artist, but that's what Jessica Rutherford did last year.
"If you are following your dream, and you are doing what you love, it sounds crazy, but it just works out," she said. Then she paused and said, "Or maybe I'm so fortunate that it's just worked out for me."
This weekend, she'll be one of 53 artists displaying their work at Mt. Lebanon's eighth annual Art in the Park festival.
Scott Deaton, a member of the committee for Art in the Park, said the community began the festival in 2002 as a way to present unique artwork. Every year, 50 to 60 artists gather in Mt. Lebanon Park, joined by food vendors, live music and children's activities.

Was there much of a turnout ?
It's been a nice event but we were away and missed it this year. I noticed that the Rotary was not the lead organizer this year?

Just an FYI - the Mt Lebanon Sunrise Rotary and Mt Lebanon Police Association still organizes the event. We were able to secure a lead sponsor (Bill Few Associates) and several other generous donors to help the cause.
We had one of our best years in terms of both the number of artists in the show and attendance for the weekend!
