FACE PAINTING
Greenville Art Guild Fundraiser-Darke County Fair
Shawnee Prairie Nature Preserve
Greenville Art Guild held a fundraiser at the Darke County Fair in the Fine Art Building: dates were August 15 through 22, 2008. It was a huge success in many ways. We received many thrilled remarks and thank yous from the public. There were all ages; children through adults, men and woman, arms or ankles. We had designs for the public to pick from, but also our goal was to please. Some customers explained what design they wanted and others draw their own design. We had one customer, a little girl, who came everyday to get her face painted. REO Speedwagon played at the fair and before the concert people came to be painted for the concert.
The project brought in a total of $335.00; to see the children's faces light up was priceless. Thanks to Greenville Art Guild members for all their valuable time and creativity in making this project a success: Jan Boyer, Ashley Bubb, Sandy Cable-Barringer, Selena Burk, Cherie Frost and Marilyn Banks. A deeply appreciation goes to Jan Boyer and Sandy Cable-Barringer for creating the unique designs.
Greenville Art Guild are so grateful to Nancy Foureman for working with us on this project and allowing the guild to use the art building at the Darke County Fair. Without Nancy's help it would not had been possible to make this project a success.
Members of the Greenville Art Guild will be painting faces at the Shawnee Prairie Nature Preserve during the Greenville Art Guild art show.

Hope to see you at Prairie Days with a paint brush in-hand and ready to paint the little faces and to give support to the Greenville Art Guild.
Greenville Art Guild wants three people in the tent to paint faces, to give breaks, and to make sure we do not lose any customers.
