Paintings by Chris Brandley, Charice Cooper and Jane Metz
The Serotonin Sisters (see previous post for explanation about the Serotonin Sisters!) headed out last week to put some final touches on the art show for the "Meet and Greet" that we had Saturday night. We had heard that KVIL 103.7 (radio station in Dallas) was going to be broadcasting in our neck of the woods. Charice had this overwhelming feeling that we needed to be there. We stopped in and had coffee at the cafe' where KVIL was broadcasting.
They were giving away prizes every 15 minutes, so of course we had to put our names in the hat. Jane's name was drawn immediately and she won tickets to a concert! As we were finishing up our coffee, low and behold, Charice's name was drawn! She won tickets to Cirque du Soleil. Wow! we were on a roll, so there was no question we needed a refill on coffee. Wouldn't you know it, my name was drawn after 2 others were called out who had already left the cafe'. What a "Serotonin day" it had been!
Yes, the prizes were awesome, but what came out of the experience to us, was such a "God thing"! Julie, the radio show host, was so excited that all 3 of us at the same table had won a prize...what are the odds? So she asked if she could interview us. This was perfect, as we were able to promote our upcoming art show and let people know that a portion of the proceeds were going to benefit the ASPCA.

The beautiful "Lancaster Theater Art Gallery"
Our "Meet and Greet" Saturday took place during Grapefest, a major festival held once a year. We had a lot of good traffic, and met some wonderful people. We were able to raise some money, and set up some prospective commissions. Thanks to those of you who were there and are helping us make a difference!
Our art show will be on display at the Lancaster Theater (300 S. Main) in Grapevine, Tx thru October 8th.
