47th Annual Island Art Fair in Grand Ledge will be all about shopping and camaraderie

"This island is for you," said art fair director Stephene Lapp. "We want you vendors. I can't wait to meet all the authors and all the vendors."

Seven Michigan authors will be among the 114 vendors on the island that is connected to the mainland by one bridge only. Lapp expects around 6,000 visitors to the event on July 31st. 

There will be also nine musicians and boat rides.
