First Friday
in Lancaster at LCDC Headquarters
LCDC's Final First Friday
in Lancaster at LCDC headquarters 5:30-8:30 pm - ANOTHER VERY SPECIAL
event - our art reception will feature the illustrations of Lancaster
County artist, Jim Heston.
Jim's show will be a satirical look at the
last seven and a half years in Washington, D.C. The show's title is:
"You Must Remember This...the George W. Bush years as seen through the
lens of classic Hollywood movies". For this show, Jim will use the
unusual technique of sgraffito on scratchboard. All pieces of art will
be for sale to benefit the Lancaster County Democrats.
David and Art Miron will
be playing a "finely crafted selection of music from the 50’s to the
90’s; from C&W to Rock; from American to Israeli".
The Event will be
held in the Underground. The Underground and LCDC Headquarters are
located at
53 N. Duke Street, in downtown Lancaster City.
Before you come to
the showing visit Campaign Headquarters at 151
N. Queen Street, just two blocks away, and partake in the ALL
YOU CAN EAT BUILD YOUR OWN ICE CREAM SUNDAES Fundraiser for Bruce
Slater sponsored by the Lancaster County Democratic Women's
Association. |
