Preparing for Our Fall Festivities GUILD PRESIDENT, KATHY WILSON, AND 2015 HALIFAX ART FESTIVAL CHAIR GEORGE FORTUNA
A
s the sunny days shorten and the temperatures go down a bit, we welcome all the festivities which happen in October and November. Fabulous Florida Fashions took place on October 13th at the Halifax Plantation Country Club. The sell out crowd was treated to beautiful and fun fashions from SteinMart while enjoying a fantastic luncheon. Whether it is stepping out in dressy clothes or just great casual attire, our Guild models showcased outfits from head to toe. The 53rd Halifax Art Festival is on November 7th and 8th, where the Guild puts on the annual art and crafts extravaganza. This 2 day event features over 240 artists and artisans from near and far. The HAF is a major event, benefiting all of our Museums. The annual Festival of
Trees event takes place in November too. First is Tea for Two, a tea and light tasty treats soiree on Sunday November 15th from 2-4pm. Our annual FOT Gala event is being held on November 19th from 6 - 9pm in the newly opened West Wing. Sample food from over 20 area restaurants, sip champagne and stroll around the decorated trees which may be purchased via a silent auction through Dec. 3rd. I wish to offer a Big Thank You to all the Guild volunteers, who work tirelessly at each of these events. It indeed takes a village.... and each of you contributes greatly to our FUN raising efforts.
