Held on Mother's Day weekend, Americana Art Fest provides a great opportunity to take mom for a spot of shopping and some light refreshment in the Betsy Ross Tea Room. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Atmosphere in the Hall combines all of the excitement of a parade, the thrill of a fireworks show, and tall of the nostalgia of small town America. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come and celebrate the joy of America, enjoy great shopping, and be inspired by the amazing vendors and dealers who make up the Americana Art Fest. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<h2>
How to shop the show</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. If you see it... buy it! Most of the merchandise at the show will be one-of-a-kind. When you see something you love chances are it won't be there when you come back. Carpe Vintage!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Not all vendors will negotiate. Artists generally price their one-of-a-kind pieces with "firm" pricing. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although many of the Antique or Vintage vendors may have some flexibility with their pricing, it is always best to ask. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
**Tip: phrases on price tags such as "Dealers Best" or "Firm" indicate that the price is non-negotiable.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Plan ahead: Sneak peeks and tours of the show floor will be on the Americana Art Fest<br />
Facebook and Instagram pages. Scout out what you like and plan your shopping accordingly. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
**Tip: A simple map will be available at the door, arrive early to plan your shopping route. </div>

The producers of <a href="http://www.americanaartfest.com/">Americana Art Fest </a>have given this year's attendees of the show a unique opportunity to give back to the Petaluma community. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
At the entrance to the show, each paid admission will come with an old-fashioned wooden nickel. <span style="text-align: center;">"We wanted a fun way to give back to the Petaluma community" says Stephanie Sherratt, Show Producer and Petaluma resident. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Each wooden nickel represents $1, and attendees can visit our nostalgic voting booth and drop their nickel into the bucket of their choice and donate to a great charitable cause." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"This gives each person an opportunity to be involved, give back, and perhaps become more aware of these three great causes.</div>
