Tens of thousands of art enthusiasts flocked to Boulder City this past weekend for the 61st Art in the Park, sponsored by the Boulder City Hospital Foundation. In all, more than 300 artists turned out.

Lifelong Boulder City resident Kirk Estes, owner of Estes Blades and Bowls, demonstrates the sharpness of a customer’s knife he sharpened by shaving the hair on the back of his hand.

In addition to all the art, attendees enjoyed a wide variety of food trucks.

More than 300 artists were on hand this year, including Nicholas Ivins, who ended up being one of this year’s award winners.

Near-perfect weather greeted the tens of thousands of visitors last weekend.

Glasswork was one of many mediums offered at the event.
