          Scully Park
        
        
          Arts and Crafts &
        
        
          Flea Market full of
        
        
          surprises
        
        
          Scully Park was once again a popular
        
        
          destination of local bargain junkies and visitors
        
        
          looking for unique or inexpensive indoor and
        
        
          outdoor decor and personal items. The Oasis
        
        
          takes charge of coordinating the Arts and Crafts
        
        
          and Flea Market that fills the park to capacity.
        
        
          Food and entertainment were also features
        
        
          attracting crowds to the beautiful downtown
        
        
          park that features the cooling vision of a water
        
        
          fountain at its center.
        
        
          The park filled quite early each day with people
        
        
          out looking for great bargains and fun stuff.
        
        
          Negotiating the crowds, you never knew what
        
        
          or who you might see next. This year children,
        
        
          particularly young girls, were quite surprised to
        
        
          find a princess in the park.
        
        
          Tara Shane, owner and operator of “A Royal
        
        
          Remembrance,” won an award at the Illinois
        
        
          State Fair for her work. Shane offers her services
