Art Events Included In Past Weekend Activities
A summer art camp for area youngsters got a big boost Saturday night when the Water Valley Arts Council raised $1723.50 with the first Chair-ity Auction. The ArtChair receiving the highest bid of $260 was a stool commemorating the anniversary of the legalization of beer in Yalobusha County. Auctioneer P. J.

Blount and assistant/sidekick Casey Clevenger kept the crowd of bidders entertained during the event held in Bozarts Gallery on Main Street. Clevenger is showing one of the popular ArtChairs, a dragon design done on a student desk by Mari Foster.
Before the auction began, a couple looked over the 24 ArtChairs.
The Holiday Miniatures Show at Bozarts opened Friday night. On Saturday afternoon, one of Santa’s ArtElves greeted art lovers at the gallery and explained the pieces. The show will be open for viewing Wednesdays through Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m.
