By Mirella Santillo Variety was the evident at the Cancer Society Art Show held on December 21 at Pete’s Pub in Little Harbour. Artists came by the dozen to support the local organization that depends on the support of the community to help cancer patients with their expenses. Tents were set up in the parking lot and on the upstairs deck to shelter the numerous artists who arrived early on that Saturday morning to put their creations on display. From a large assortment of quilted items by Vonda Bethel, to Sea-Glass Jewelry by Celia and the Bead Lady, the wide variety of items brought many patrons. There were also sea-heart creations by Melanie Rees, Christmas decorations, and some serious arts exhibits upstairs by Marjolein Scott, Jo-Ann Bradley, and Ritchie Eyma. There seemed to be something for each of the visitors who flooded the premises from 11 o’clock on. Please see Art
