Arts Council of Tamworth

If all of you who got to work with Elizabeth! at Brett and the Cook Library in November, or came to her Brass Heart performance, thought maybe you recognized that cute trombone player backing up Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet on May 9, you were not mistaken. More photos here. Go, Elizabeth!

Tell your friends! Tell your neighbors! Tell your neighbors you’ve been wanting to make friends with! Then bring them along tomorrow night to the Arts Council of Tamworth Benefit Auction with Entertainment, at 7:00 PM at The Brass Heart Inn in Chocorua. Doors open at 6:00 for viewing and socializing. As well as unique entertainment, a 50/50 raffle, treats to eat and a cash bar, you will find an array of affordable, useful and one-of-a-kind auction items. Support ACT by purchasing something you need anyway, like firewood, a haircut, a car inspection, fresh eggs, a computer cleanup, Story Land admissions for when the grandkids come to town, or something you really really want—NASCAR tickets, Michelle’s cherry pie, beautiful local crafts, a massage, organic compost!

Great local auction donations are coming in up to the last moment. We’ve just received two beautiful baby and toddler quilts from Anne Filson of Quilt Kits by Annie. The quilts will keep a baby warm and then serve as a fun and educational play mat for toddlers—each comes with a series of games you can play with your baby as they learn words, numbers and ideas.

We’ve also just received a “Redneck Basket” with a set of ‘redneck wine glasses’ and more from Linda Williams. Wait until you see those wine glasses—but you’ll have to come tomorrow night to see them! And so much more…

Our generous auction donors are half the picture—YOU are the other half. Please come bid generously, and please bring your generously bidding friends. We’re planning for next year, figuring out what artists to bring to the Brett School and the community, choosing performers to enliven and inspire us, getting organized for this summer’s Art Show, and we need help from you, our community, to make this all possible. And you’ll have fun along the way—win win!
