This rickshaw was one of the more unique finds downtown Saturday.

The sweltering heat didn't keep people away from the Lockport Arts & Crafts Festival on Saturday, but it may have shortened their visits.

The annual downtown show was busy before the official opening at 11 a.m., with Main Street packed with patrons looking for good deals on arts and crafts — and getting them. Everything from paintings and pottery to hot sauce and athletic wear was there for those who were willing to endure the heat. Of course, there were also plenty of good eats available, too.

The festival continues from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. today, running down Main Street and East Avenue from Cottage Street to Washburn Street.

If you go, you may want to go early as the temperature is expected to spike near 90 degrees early this afternoon and thunderstorms are possible later.
