Bessie Tibbs, 85, of Baden and Cathy Jones of North County enjoy getting blessed by a moko jumbie at the 21st Annual St. Louis African Arts Festival Monday, May 28, 2012, at the World Fair Pavilion in Forest Park. I try to bring her out here every year to get her out of the house. She just loves the stilt walkers, said Jones. A moko jumbie or stilts walker are believed to originate from Western Africa. They are believed to represent the highest of spirits and offer blessings. Photo by Laurie Skrivan, lskrivan@post-dispatch.com
