Grab your chin,

lean back on your back leg and arch your eyebrows.

It is time

to practice that serious, art-appraising look, because it is time for

the 33rd annual Old Courthouse Art Show.

The grounds

outside the Old Courthouse in Fayetteville will be filled with more than

70 exhibitors of fine art, as well as the work of young artists from Fayette

County schools. There will be displays of oil painting, watercolors, pottery

and jewelry. It is a juried show, meaning the artists send slides of their

work and are accepted by the committee that presents the show.

The art show

is the only fine arts show south of Atlanta and is coordinated through

the efforts of local artist Patsy Gullett and the Fayetteville Artists

Association.

Artists come

from all over the Southeast and this year one is making the trip from

Ohio. There will also be a half dozen food vendors on hand, selling everything

from Greek food to Smoothies. There will be ongoing performances from

a barbershop quartet Saturday as well as awards to the artists at 1 p.m.

and scholarships presented to one high school senior from each high school

in the county. There will also be a performance by the Peachtree Wind

Ensemble Concert Band Sunday at 1 p.m.

Saturday evening

the first of The Beat on Main Street's three-part concert series will

be presented. Zoots and the Swingin' Suits will perform a free concert

at 7 p.m. at Heritage Park. Attendees are encouraged to bring their lawn

chairs and picnic baskets and listen to the music of yesteryear recreated

The Zoots perform

selections from Glen Miller to Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, including

songs like "String of Pearls," "In The Mood," "Sentimental

Journey," "Paper Doll," and "That's Amore."
