    Friends--         I returned a few hours ago from the Highland Park
    (Illinois) Festival of Fine Craft. It is historically a decent show
    for me, and fun to do-- the organizers really work to keep the
    artists happy, and the quality is better every year. However, it is
    often (3 out of 5 years) incredibly hot. This year, the 92 degree
    heat and high humidity kept the crowds pretty small. *Anyway*, I had
    a bit of inspiration that I thought I'd pass along. The first day, I
    was miserable from the steam-bath-heat, though I like heat,
    generally. Today, I took along a cooler of ice, and a sports towel.
    I wet it, then wrapped some ice in it, and wore it across the back
    of my neck. It was like magic! No more misery! I'll never do another
    summer show without that towel in my kit. It didn't drip at all,
    because of the high-tech fabric, which is incredibly absorbent, so
    only my collar got wet. I felt like a daisy put back in the vase.
    Hope this is of use!                --Noel
