November 17, 2007
The Saturday of THE FIRST EVER ART WALK IN WELLBORN was also the day of the 12th Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner.
Publicity was excellent and it worked. Both events gave pleasure and were free. It was a good combo. We all walked around in the swell crispy fall weather. We were thankful . We appreciated each others talents revealed in the art work displays and then again at the community dinner with food & friendliness. Many stayed for lunch in our hometown perhaps pondering which favorite pieces of art needed to go home with them.
Cathy Willson, owner of the WHISTLE STOP DELI & CAFE at the blinker light in my hometown, is the idea person behind this happy Saturday in Wellborn. Her committee met at the store for final details Thursday evening.
The best salesman/artist was Kathy Romano with Stained Glass & Mosaic art. She explained that for 2 hours and $45 one can come to her studio in Live Oak to make a Christmas gift for a loved one.
This is a picture of the the WCA committee members who served up one more excellent Wellborn Community Association Turkey Dinner with fixins, and supplemented by donated desserts from grateful hometowners.
Bonnie Scott, Pat Bezaire, Cathy Snowden Carol Hoenich, Linda Dye and Kelsey McBairey. Hiding behind them wearing an apron at the stove was Jim Bezaire.
Jack Gaylord was the official meeter and greeter. That is a tradition we love & appreciate.
