| - This years Ingenuity Fest is located at 5401 Hamilton which is off of East 55 and one street north of St.Clair. It's open today 9/23/17 from noon until 1am and tomorrow from noon until 5pm. Admission is 5 bucks.
What can I say? There are too many words and too many pictures to describe all the sights, sounds and feel of everything I experienced Friday night, the first place I entered was Rebuilders Exchange that was just a warehouse of everything you might be looking for to rebuild your century home and while I was looking around I saw examples of the work being done by 'Graffiti Heart' and I'll let the picture do the justice it deserves.
After that it kept getting better and better, I saw a Lego table and sand tables for children to express themselves with, all kinds of really cool 3D art, plenty of unique one of a kind chairs to sit in, the thousand faces project that has to be seen to believe. I saw some sort of interpretive dance by belly dancers (sort of) that I couldn't stop watching it was so good. I saw art from around the world and was able to talk to the artists including a painting that mesmerized me by a young woman from Iraq. There was a ceiling swing attached to the support frame that had to be at least 80 feet up, rope forts, one of a kind tire swings, metal sculptures that shot out flames, a butterfly exhibit in a large netted enclosure and on and on and on not to mention all the different kinds of music being played around just about every corner.
The was Skid Mark garage for bikers who need a special tool or knowledge to bring their bikes or just hang out, sit, drink a beer or just play a game of pool.
I met Peter from 'Soulcraft' who told me his shop is dedicated to helping those with unique ideas build their dreams and then he showed me a project his daughter did in 5th grade that measured the speed of sound with propane flames, very, very cool.
On the way out you have to stop by Games Done Legit and try out the virtual reality exhibit, I was blown away by the graphics and cannot describe in words how wonderful it was.
If you have a chance this weekend visit ingenuity fest and have a blast, it'll be the best 5 dollars you spent in awhile.
