The Fabulous Women are going to support the 2nd Annual RiverTown Revival. It is on Saturday, July 30th. Organized by “The Friends of the Petaluma River,” this historical themed festival will be engaging for the whole community. It will offer fun and nostalgia. The event includes a boat race, parade, floating art barges, $5.00 weddings, local music, art, food and drink, a kid’s area and over 40 fabulous local vendors. The River Town Revival has an “Americana” theme, so everybody is encouraged to pull out their bustles, suspenders and crinolines! The funds raised will support the preservation of River Heritage Center and some wonderful educational programs. The Fabulous Women will have the “daunting task” of organizing and hosting the VIP Captain’s Quarters. With the best location, view and shade, we’ll be providing a fun place for guests to rest, nibble and enjoy some libations. We are looking for props that will help our VIP experience like: nets, old chess /checker boards, drop cloths, wine barrels, and nautical props. If you have any of these items for our Captain’s Quarters, please call Krista @ 707 799-2153. What a fabulous day it will be!! Hope to see you out there!
Art is You!
In response to our article in Woman’s Day Magazine, our group was spotted by a national art conference group in New York. They will be conducting an art conference in Petaluma on September 22nd – 26th. The Fabulous Women will be invited to the Sheraton for the public portion of the conference. We will enjoy wine and cheese and enjoy the art trunk show. We’ll see amazing creations ranging from collages, steam punk jewelry, vintage art, quilts, and paintings. There is no fee for the evening, but donations will be accepted. The proceeds from this event will be given to “The Fabulous Women.” Our charity is going to turn around and grant scholarship money for the children of COTS (Community on the Shelterless) to participate in the programs provided by the Petaluma Arts Center. Now that is Fabulous! Mark your calendars for September 24th. For more information, visit: www.art-is-you.com
