Author: Cheryl Hollon
Mainsail Art Festival started in 1976 when the city's Bicentennial Committee, the Saint Petersburg Recreation Department and the new Saint Petersburg Arts Commission joined forces to sponsor the "First Annual Saint Petersburg Sidewalk Arts and Colonial Crafts Festival."
For the second show, the name was shortened. "Mainsail" was chosen in 1977 to convey the event's importance, its excitement and marina setting on the waterfront South Straub Park.
This year marks the 42nd Anniversary of the festival. More than 100,000 visitors come to enjoy and purchase quality art and enjoy top name entertainment. The Mainsail committee of hard-working volunteers produces this festival exhibiting artists competing for $60,000 in prize money.
Mainsail will be held on Saturday 9AM - 6PM and Sunday 10AM - 5PM. The weather forecast is perfect. Sunny, but cool with low humidity. I hope to see you there!

About Cracked to Death:
When a treasure hunt leads to deadly plunder, it’s up to glass shop owner Savannah Webb and her trusty investigative posse to map out the true motives of a killer . . .
It's the dog days of summer in St. Petersburg, Florida, and Webb's Glass Shop proprietor Savannah Webb has an eco-friendly plan to help locals escape the heat--a recyclable bottle-crafting workshop taught by reticent store manager Amanda Blake. Turns out, the class is a bigger smash than expected, thanks in part to a pair of staggeringly old bottles brought in by snorkeler Martin Lane . . .
Linked to a storied pirate shipwreck, the relics definitely pique Savannah's interest. But intrigue turns to shock when Martin's lifeless body washes ashore the next morning, another glass artifact tucked in his dive bag. With cell phone records connecting Amanda to the drowning, Savannah must voyage through uncharted territory to exonerate her colleague and capture the twisted criminal behind Martin's death . . .
