The

weather was kind to the 35th annual Courthouse

Art Show in Fayetteville this past weekend.

The

75 artisans who had booths holding handmade

jewelry, watercolors, acrylic paintings and

pottery were pleased with the number of patrons

who came. Vendor Brenda Tustian, watercolors,

said she always looked forward to taking part in

the event because of her affinity for the oldest

courthouse building in Georgia. "I have been

coming here for 10 years," she said,

"and this site has really become special to

me."

The

Fayette County Arts Association uses exhibit fees

to award a scholarship to a student of each of

the county's high schools. This year checks for

$750 were given to Masha Rastatouroua, Fayette

County High School; Brina M. Jolin, Starr's Mill;

Emily May Maple, McIntosh, and Janelle Dingle,

Sandy Creek.

Taking

awards in this year's judging were: first place,

Lillian Brooks, watercolor, from Hahira; second

place, Richard DeWalt, wood, from Fayetteville;

third place, Suzanne Bridgeman, photo, from

Marietta.
