Another mission accomplished!

Proceeds of the Union Arts Council’s recent Mardi Gras Fais Do-Do were presented to the Farmerville High School Fine Arts Program on Thursday, March 7. Kathy Watkins (left), president of the Arts Council, presented a check in the amount of $500 to Courtney Mardis, FHS Fine Arts instructor. A portion of the funds will be used for stage decorations and sets in a production to be performed in May by theater students; funds also will be used for art supplies needed during the 2013-14 school year.

Mardi Gras Fais Do-Do...Done!

What a lively evening it was at the Union Arts Council's Mardi Gras Fais Do-Do on Feb. 8.  Great music by the fabulously talented Sarah Jayde and the "Sharecroppers" Cajun band and great food by Joe and Susan Cusimano  got the audience happy, happy, happy, and up on their feet dancing.

Two tables were filled with silent auction items that enticed people to bid like crazy.  The final tally of silent auction sales:  $500.  

Thanks to EVERYONE who helped out with the event, attended, talked it up around the community, or donated auction items.
