Another successful Art Harvest

The 45th Annual Art Harvest took place this past weekend in Highlander Park, Dunedin. The week began with a Patron Party, held at the home of City of Dunedin Commissioner Deborah Kynes. On Thursday and Friday, many league members and friends spent their days and nights setting up for the big event. On Thursday evening, past Art Harvest Chairs congregated at the Park for a photo at the Pavilion (which could be the cover for the next SeaOats).

Preparations were still being made when I arrived at the Park on Saturday morning. Around 10am, customers started arriving at the Park. JLCD members withstood the rain on Saturday afternoon as the event came to a close.

Thanks to all who helped! It was a tremendous success!

Art Harvest Patron Party

The Art Harvest Patron Party was held last night at the home of Deborah Kynes (who I heard is running for Mayor of Dunedin in the March election). Over 50 patrons attended, and enjoyed delectables from Island Way Grill (thank you Frank Chivas) and wine from Zen Zen Wines (thank you Michael Seltzer). It was a wonderful event and a JLCD tradition, and a great way to have show support and have some fun before Art Harvest.

Thinking of Art Harvest, we still have shifts available, and it's less than a week away.

Thank you to all the Art Harvest Patrons for your support.

Art Harvest Commitments

Yes, it is August and Art Harvest is less than 3 months away!

Last night, Bruce and I had the pleasure of loading artist slides into the carousels for the artist selection process this weekend. Artists for AH are selected by professional jurors, not by Junior League members. There to help last night, were Michelle Anger, Jennifer Sullivan, Stacey Shy, Meg Lokey, Sarah Pickett, Gwin Londgrigan, Jill Holcombe and Joanna Rosse. Jill and Joanna came to help to fulfill their requirements, as both of them are heading to NYC for the Marathon!!!!

If you know you are not going to be here for Art Harvest (so you can't work your shift), please contact the committee before AH so they can find you fulfill your shift prior to Art Harvest. Please remember that this is currently our largest fundraiser, so we really do need "all hands on deck".
