A few parking citations given out by police at the Mini-Met ballpark during the Jordan Art Festival have been dismissed.

The ballpark parking lot near the intersection of Rice and Water streets filled up during the Jordan Valley Bike Tour, which was attended by about 300 bicyclists. Overflow parking trickled into the street leading behind the outfield fence and into the parking lot.

In the last day or so, local artist Maureen Carlson, other members of the Jordan Area Chamber of Commerce, and I have been exchanging e-mails about this summer's Jordan Art Festival.

This blog is not about the festival, but about the e-mails from Carlson. I took note of what I call a tagline -- it tells you who the e-mailer is, their contact information, and sometimes includes a quote or some other kind of words by which to live. 

Carlson's tagline says, after her contact information: "It simply wouldn't be an adventure worth having if there weren't any dragons."

Have I told you that I love the Jordan Art Festival?
