Penn State Taiji Club 
12:00 p.m.; Shell
Taiji is a gentle, body-mind unifying martial art form that originated in China more than 300 years ago. It is practiced by hundreds of millions of people around the world. Tai chi classes have become popular across the United States as baby boomers age and the art's reputation as a low stress training for seniors became more well-known. In May 2007, three Penn State faculty members founded a regular Taiji group-practice in State College. This three-person group has now grown into the Penn State Taiji Club, with several dozens of student and faculty members. They have weekly practices/teachings and perform regularly at various cultural events.

CPFA Silent Auction
Sponsored by Corvette America
Noon - 5 p.m.; 100 Block of Sout Allen Street

The CPFA Silent Auction, which raises money to support Festival programs, is an unqualified success due to the generosity of exhibitors, the able and enthusiastic leadership of the Festival volunteers, and the shopping of hundreds of Festival-goers.

Located in the 100 block of South Allen Street, the Silent Auction features a wide array of fine art and craft donated by Sidewalk Sale exhibitors.  Many patrons use a visit to the Silent Auction as their jumping-off point before heading out to check out the artists in the Sidewalk Sale & Exhibition.  People see something they like in the Silent Auction and take note of whose work it is so that they are sure to stop at the artist’s booth.  The proceeds of the Silent Auction help to pay for the Festival, and artists have found that having a piece in the Silent Auction is a great way to bring patrons to their booths. The Silent Auction will open on Thursday, July 12, at noon. It will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Sunday hours will be from noon to 5:00 p.m.
