ART SHOW FIREWORKS

“Art Show: Bedford” had perhaps the most exciting preview party in its 42-year history recently when a fire in the chimney of St. Matthew’s Church early in the day had everyone hopping. After a quick save by the Bedford Fire Department, the day proceeded as planned. The event had a great turnout, including Katonah resident Martha Stewart. Hors d’oeuvres and “small plates” were served along with delicious desserts. Proceeds from the show benefit local charities supported by the Women of St. Matthew’s Church.
