riendship Center brought 2020 roaring in with their 21st Festival of Hearts “The New Roaring ‘20s” held at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. The hotel was a sea of feather boas, sequins, fringe and headbands as the flapper ladies and a few dandy gentlemen sipped Fess Parker wines to the live music of A la Carte, Jan Ingram and Henry Garrett. There was Charleston dancing going on too. The guests were also busy bidding on an array of Heart-Art created by local artists and celebrities like Jeff Bridges. Heart Wrangler Sharon Morrow and her posse were kept busy organizing, photographing and lovingly preparing the Heart-Art. Sharon was proud to announce, “100% of the hearts were sold!” A special thanks went to Charleston Shoe Co. for hosting an artists’ reception and displaying the hearts in their State Street window. 20% of the proceeds was donated to Friendship Center.
