Kathleen Noffsinger and Other Exhibitors Set for Art on Fishing Bay
on
What started as an informal invitation to Kathleen Noffsinger to show her work to the Wednesday night group at the Fishing Bay Yacht Club in Deltaville several years ago, has turned into a huge annual art show. It now features the best artists and craftsmen in the middle peninsula region and in conjunction with The Leukemia Cup Regatta is a benefit to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
On Friday, June 8, 2007 from 5:30 9:00 PM at the Fishing Bay Yacht Club in Deltaville, Kathleen and 25 other artists and artisans will offer their creations to the public. More than just an art show, music and refreshments highlight this increasingly popular charitable and social event …
They are preparing to unfurl their canvases and display their crafts at Art on Fishing Bay the evening of June 8, 5:30-9:00 PM, at the Fishing Bay Yacht Club in Deltaville. Artists from far and wide, local and regional, will again participate in one of the most popular Leukemia Cup events supporting victims with blood cancers. And this being the 9th year of Southern Chesapeake Leukemia Cup Regatta, the crowds are expected to exceed last years record setting attendance.
A total of 26 artists will exhibit their creations for purchase or perusal. Each will donate one item to the Leukemia Cup Auction to be held later this summer at the Stingray Harbor Marina.
A crew of modern-day explorers, historians, naturalists and educators are endeavoring to retrace Captain John Smith's incredible 1608 expedition. Traveling in a 28-foot reproduction of Smith's shallop, and living much as Smith and his men did 400 years ago, the shallop and her crew will spend 121-days voyaging to the headwaters of almost every tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. At more than 20 points along the route, the shallop and her crew will stop for public exhibitions so that people from all around the region can learn about this important episode in the history of the Chesapeake.
