First Festival of the Arts in Jeffersonville

It's difficult to know how to exclaim enough about the First Festival of the Arts in Jeffersonville, last Saturday. Many people worked to make it a success, but major credit goes to the Cambridge Arts Council - Paige Kelly, Susan Lassiter, Ron Carter and Daphne Allen. Over 300 people visited the gallery; 50 artists lined the sidewalks, painting and displaying their work; artwork sold, children's faces were painted, yummies were served up by the local restaurants, and in short, we'll probably be doing it again next year. Pictures above are from the camera of our board chair, Charlie Love.
