Lu Don Enterprises brought marionettes to the crafts fair. The marionettes came in all different colors and were in the shape of ostriches. One even was decked out in the University's red and blue. "I liked the little dancing things," College freshman Julia Loscalzo said. "I thought they were really cool." Jeff Nelson of Hudson River Inlay, sold a wood inlay similar to one which currently graces the White House. One of the paintings that Nelson is selling was bought by President Clinton in November 1992. Nelson said business was decent yesterday. "Maybe students are poor," he said. "I hope that the faculty comes out." Students were very enthusiastic about the craft fair and the beautiful weather. "The weather is absolutely gorgeous," said College sophomore Meera Jegathesan. "It just makes you want to stand on the walk all day and look at the pretty jewelry." "The fair was awesome," Nursing sophomore Valerie Carroll said. "[It was] even better than watching reruns of The Brady Bunch." The crafts fair continues today from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
