November's Announcement - Fun - Getting Artful...
The ornaments have been sewn, painted, sculpted, wired, weaved, stretched, glued, and sprinkled with glitter. The ribbons have been cut, twisted, fluffed, and placed. The trees have been assembled, bolted, and glued. The mall has been decorated and Santa's chair is in place. His arrival's confirmed and the musicians alerted.
When Santa arrives at 6 PM on Thursday December 3, the tree veils will come down, the tree lights will go; and hardworking, proud artists of the Treasure Coast Art Association and volunteers from local churches and organizations will breath a breathe of relief as people and businesses places bids to purchase for their home and/or office these marvelous tree creations made with love to be enjoyed for years to come. Trees' proceeds will go to local charities to help families, children, dogs and cats this coming year.
Come out to the Orange Blossom Business Center (mall) at 4300 Okeechobee Road, Fort Pierce, and be a part of this wonderful event. Years of joy and happiness to the bid winners who garnish these trees made with skill and love. Good tidings of joy and success to our local charities whose deeds make a difference indeed for so many each day of the year.
Happy Holidays to You! Don't forget to stop into TCAA on Avenue A, in Fort Pierce for holiday gifts you'll find nowhere else and help the artists teach others art and the skills of helping others this coming year 2010.
