I am in full agreement with John Davis Held's letter about Artscape and the hot weather ("Artscape in July is too darn hot," July 18). My wife and I always looked forward to attending but could only do so if the weather cooperated.

It would be wonderful to hold this event in the spring or fall when sweltering 90 degree-plus heat is not likely. Certainly, this would attract more visitors and vendors of quality artwork. Please feel free to forward my comments to Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake as well as the organizers of Artscape. I hope they will strongly consider changing the dates in the future.
