Sherman, Texas -- The 40th Annual Sherman Arts Fest was a spectacular success, with a large crowd braving the summer heat to enjoy art, live music, craft booths and festival food.

Held at Sherman Municipal Grounds, this year's Arts Fest attracted a record number of arts & crafts booths that filled the streets circling Sherman Municipal Building.

A variety of performances and live music rotated on the main stage on the Municipal Grounds, while artists and woodworkers were set up inside the Municipal Building.
