Holiday Crafts Show Adds Quilts & “Pamper Me” Sections For the past several years, the Brownwood Rotary Club has sponsored the Annual Holiday Arts & Crafts Show in November. This year, the show will be held Friday and Saturday, November 11 and 12 in the Coliseum. Show hours will be Friday from 5 to 9 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM. Admission will be $5 per person. As in previous years, artisans and crafters from the Brownwood area and from other cities around the state will offer mostly hand-made or embellished items. Items that will be available include jewelry, clothing, leather goods, wood crafts, hand-painted items as well as home-made soaps, jellies and jams. However, these will be new features added to this year’s show. First, the Brownwood Quilters Guild will do demonstrations of quilting trends and techniques. The guild was formed in 1984 with approximately 6 members and they met at each other’s homes. In 2005 they hosted their first quilt show at the homemaking building at the rodeo grounds and discovered immediately that it was not large enough. The show moved to
the coliseum in 2006 and has been there ever since. Membership at the beginning of the first quilt show was approximately 20-25 and their current membership is approximately 50. Angela McCorkle is the group’s President, Marcella League is the Vice President and Doris Rice is the Secretary/Treasurer. They will have a donation quilt available for viewing at the show along with several other quilts made by members. In addition, the Holiday Show will feature a “Pamper Me For the Holidays” section. Local businesses will offer mini-facials, chair massages, manicures/ pedicures, holiday make-up tips, flowers, perfumes and the latest in ladies fashions and accessories. There will be fashion shows presented by local clothing stores— times to be announced. For more information or a booth application, go to the Chamber’s events calendar: www.brownwoodchamber.org and click on Nov 11. Or, contact Rotary Club member Laura Terhune at 325-646-9535.
