The things I like most about Bradenton and Manatee County
Discovering the Village of the Arts was a special treat for me and my husband, long time residents of Sarasota. There is still a small town charm there, much like where I grew up in PA.
My Interests & Hobbies
perusing other people's art & museums, watching professional sports with my husband, playing tennis, going to the gym, exploring bead stores, reading, hanging with my girlfriends, gin martinis & bleu cheese stuffed olives!
My Favorite Local Restaurant(s)
Mangrove Grill, Mattisons, Sign of the Mermaid, Ortygia, Theresa's, Charisma Café, Ortygia Restaurant

Glad you had a great time and a great meal.
Next week I have dinner plans on Friday and have to be in Clearwater Saturday from 7:30- 4:30 (ugh). So, I will be back for Art Walk in November to pre=celebrate Obama's victory!
Hi Vicki ... I hope I can get some folks to perform at your event but I don't have too many who will play for "tips". Terry (Tbone) Rhodes might do it - check him on anythingarts.com and send him a note and mention my name - I asked him about it the other night and he said he could possibly do it for the exposure. The Orange Festival is December 14th so I'd like to begin collecting donations for the raffle in November some time. Would be great if you could help and of course, you'd get some exposure at the raffle table and when the winners are announced. Thanks! Judy
Hi Vicki !! Long time no see!! Stay in touch and check out the events and blogs I've posted - maybe you'd like to donate a piece of jewelery or two for the raffle at The Florida Orange Festival. Let me know and stay in touch! Judy
We would love to have you join! We were in Tampa today and returned to a house/shop full of painters ... I apologize for not responding earlier. Please do join. We have a lot we want to do. We are in the early stages and would love to have your input.
If you have any questions or concerns please send me a not, otherwise, please sign up on the group.
We will be in Bradenton tomorrow and will try to visit.
