Q. Do you have any recommendations for first-timers attending the “Arts in the Alley” event. What are a few of your
favorite event features?
A. Visit every show Fine Art, Crafts, Quilts, Kids Art, Photo Arts and the entertainment. It’s worth hanging
around for both days. My favorite event features are the Parade, Grove City High School Band Performance
and the Fine Art Show.
Q. Please tell us what “Arts in the Alley” means to you.
A. Arts in the Alley means to me, a great fall weekend to spend with the community and enjoy the arts. It is
the perfect weekend to spend with Family and Friends, and this year we have added the “Voice of Grove City”
which will be and exciting addition.
Q. It’s the 40th Anniversary for “Arts in the Alley”, and 30 years for the Parade- what does that mean to
you?
A. I’m getting old
Q. Just for fun, if you could perform any talent act what would you do?
A. Juggle flaming swords (we would love to see that!!!)
Q. How would you like to see others in the Grove City Area become more involved in the community and
other local events?
A. It is so personally rewarding to be involved in your community and taking care of what and who you
believe in and care about. I was once told by Helen Walton, wife of Wal-Mart Founder Sam Walton, “It’s not
what you gather in life but what you scatter that tells the story of life you lived”.
Q. How does one become Grand Marshal? and what responsibilities are included in the role?
A. I believe there is a nomination process for the position of Grand Marshal. I believe you are nominated by
peers in the community. I’m still not sure exactly of what I have to do in this role. The role of Grand Marshal
generally entails leading the parade and introducing the event. It is an honor to be the Grand Marshal!
