"ART in the Dark"

"Blues Tapestry"

The store was beautiful inside and out. The quilts were beautiful, the food was magnificent and lots of people came. We were set to have a great event, then about thirty minutes or less into the reception there was a massive power failure in the whole Belhaven/ Fondren area and the lights went out.

We lit candles to try and light the place and Rhonda did a short talk about her quilts (in the dark). On the bright side (pun intended), people did not leave. They seemed to still enjoy themselves and laughed about the power failure. Someone coined the phrase "art in the dark". They talked and ate the wonderful food (Rhonda's sister did the catering). Some carried candles around looking at things. People kept coming, even knowing there was a power failure.

Thanks to all that braved the weather and came to this great event. We will probably have another event with the lights on this time. More on that later as we figure it out the details.
