Fairhope Arts & Crafts Festival set to return this weekend | al.com: "FAIRHOPE, Ala. -- By Wednesday, most hotels along the Eastern Shore were booked for the weekend, while city police were preparing yet again for a vast host of visitors.

Starting at about 5 p.m. today, preparations will begin for the 58th annual Arts & Crafts Festival. Traffic will be barred from downtown's flower-lined streets to make room for hundreds of white tents to be erected along the asphalt."
