Arts Council Community Event

Saturday was a beautiful, sunny, Spring day. Kenyon had picked up a flyer from the library advertising an Arts Council community event.

They had demonstrations of lace making, quilting and painting. The work of local artists on display and live performances.

It was a nice way to spend a lazy Saturday. We collected lots of flyers for future events at the performing arts center, the repertory theater, and more...these will likely be the subject of future posts.

The only downside, the event wasn't well attended. Apparently that is a common issue in these parts. Inside the District there are many events that draw large crowds. We live outside the District in the Commonwealth of Virginia where most people simply reside and commute long hours for work. When home, they don't get out much...at least not for community events like this one.

We will keep trying these out. Someone (or a group of someones) put a lot of effort in to planning this event. We will continue to support this effort. It was well put together, despite the small crowd.
