News and Happenings

So watching The Fellowship of the Ring was great! If you missed it, sorry! We had some awesome cookies to munch on!  We will be doing movie night next month on October 30th at 5pm. We will be watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone! I love, love, love that movie! I am thinking of making some Harry Potter themed goodies for this one! Eep!

So did everyone forget about book club this week? I know school is busy and it is okay. We can always revisit the "Classics with a Twist" theme another time. This next month's theme will be "The Paranormal" in honor of October and Halloween. Let's have a frighteningly good time with this one! That meeting will be on Tuesday, October 9th.

Flaunt your Stuff

Flaunt 2012 Downtown Art Walk & Exhibition Come take part in the activities with Thomasville Center for the Arts and Downtown Thomasville. Seen the yarn bombing on Broad Street yet? Go take a look! Even the library has a tree! (Give you a hint: Dr. Seuss!) "Local artists are pulling out all the stops to bring Thomasville to the “recycle table”. Downtown merchant locations will brim with a wide variety of fascinating and creative art containing recycled or upcycled components, created by the southeast’s most talented painters, jewelers, fiber artists and sculptors. A full weekend of activities abounds on the bricks of downtown Thomasville and at the Center. See the schedule below, and mark your calendar so you don’t miss a minute. While taking in cool art, and meeting interesting artists, you’ll learn a little more about who’s doing their part for recycling. We think you’ll surprised to find out how several local businesses are working to be “green”, and how 28 FLAUNT artist’s cleverly blended corporate recycling trash into their upcycled couture."                                                               -Thomasville Center for the Arts Opening Weekend Activities Friday, Sept. 7 5:30 p.m. Preview Party & Upcycled Dress Unveiling 6:00 p.m. Art Walk Exhibition Custom Motorcycle Display Yarn Bomb Fiber Art Installation "All Dressed Up &  Somewhere To Go" Saturday, Sept. 8 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Downtown Art Walk 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. Fiber Art Demonstrations 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. Flaunt Artists in their Retailer Location Sunday, Sept. 9 Thomasville Center for the Arts 2 – 4 p.m. Floored by Art: Hooked Rug Exhibition 2 – 4 p.m. Thomasville Entertainment Foundation 75th Anniversary Retrospective Exhibit 4 – 5 p.m. Thomas University Sundays at Four Concert Featuring Selections Written by Jerome Kern
