Join Us for the Last Art Stroll of 2009 on Thursday, November 19th

"Frosted Firs"

by Marti Reed

Come join us as we celebrate "Indian Summer" and "Winter" during our last Art Stroll for 2009!

Firehouse Gallery, 81 Naugatuck Avenue, Walnut Beach - Milford, CT, will be hosting a reception for it's year-end exhibit with the celebration of the "Winter" season on Thursday, November 19th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The exhibit will be judged by Derek Leka, a university professor at Southern and University of Bridgeport as well as teaching at Silvermine Guild Arts Center.

As you view each piece of art, become a part of it. Feel the strokes of the paint brush or pencil as if the artist was right there creating. Enjoy the beauty of the color, the light and dark, the composition. Then, and only then, would it be a good time to choose your favorite piece! You become part of the judging process yourself by choosing for the People's Choice Award.

Meander across "the Avenue" to Urban Antique Radio and Vintage Hi-Fi and check out Mike Urban's collection of past communications. Ask him questions about repairs, restoration and the like and he will be more than happy to answer them!

You must stop by the Walnut Beach Cafe and see what Wil has cook'in! Be sure to try the new Eggnog Latte or Cappuccino. Or better yet - try the seasonal Mulled Cider beverage. Mmmm!Delicious!

Stroll around the corner to Lazy Lobster and they may have lobster bisque available! Or perhaps start shopping for the Holidays at A Fine Affair, Collected Stories and SoBoBo Art Gallery! What a great relief to have some of your gifts crossed off your lists.

Just a reminder, SoBoBo is opened until 9:30 pm so make sure to stop by and perhaps we will enjoy a lively conversation!
