May 7, 2008
Greetings,
What a beautiful weekend to spend
outside. The Gamble Rogers
Festival seemed quite comfortable in
their new home at the SJC Fairgrounds. We're
excited that the space serves so
well as performance
venue. A volunteer party for past
and future GambleFest volunteers
is in the works and they promise to let
us know more when they set a date.
Have an Art
Attack this Saturday at the St. Augustine
Amphitheatre. St. Johns County arts
students will be displaying and performing
their works starting at 3:00p.m. The show,
presented by the SJC Education Foundation, will
feature performing and visual art from
kindergarten through high school
students. This is a good opportunity
to see the quality of the visual and performing
arts in our schools. Check it out!
Aerial Angels, a
street performance group, returned for a
couple of shows in the Plaza last
weekend. The "Girls in Tights" as
they like to call themselves, put on a great show
that was positively received by the large
audiences that attended each of their
shows.
Audience participation
is always part of the fun! It's hard not to
smile when you're around the Angels!
At the Chamber Business Expo
last week, we asked if you could
identify the man on the
top left-hand side of this
picture.
It proved
to be quite the challenge, so we're continuing the
contest for one more week. The first person
to correctly identify the standing man, wins a
prize. If
you recognize the other two people in the
picture, send their names along as
well. We'll announce the names
and winner next week.
EnJoy... |

since."
Defining moment as an
Artist? " It was at our
first Aerial Angels "Naughty, No, No" show.
It was the most thrilling and fulfilling show I've

the energy exchanged between ourselves and the
audience was like nothing I've ever experienced in
my life!"

perspiration and if I'm lucky, a little
inspiration. I glow

the St. Johns Cultural Council brought us
