Fine Arts Tent at Sweet Corn Festival

After a 3- or 4-year absence, the FAA members’ fine arts tent was back at the Sweet Corn Festival this year.  Many people came through to look, buy, and learn about our group.  I want to thank everyone who helped with the tent in every way, from Clarice Moore who gave us the idea and brought many people to the tent by offering her caricature drawings, to Jane Trame for sharing her notes on running the tent and helping to staff it, to all the members and four husbands who helped set up the artwork and take it down.  Thanks to all the members who brought in works for sale and sat in the tent to sell our offerings.  We did sell a painting, several prints, and many purses! Besides the caricatures, we had two other members demonstrating their painting techniques, Tom Hock and Cass Barth. Other members who offered their work for sale and/or volunteered in the tent were Gayle and Robert Beireis, Susan Bertke, Sue Brezine, Misuk Goltz (and Mark), Yuki Hall, Teiko Hawkins (and Jerry), Cora Newell (and Jeff), Mary Peirano, Connie Webber (and Don), and Mayumi Kiefer’s husband, Steve.  Thanks to you all.  It was a great opportunity and a fun weekend. —Submitted by Dora Lawson
