Jim was super happy to strike a deal with Artist Cynthia Handloser for her “Halloween Hat” – a found-objects assemblage piece which had been labeled “Not For Sale”.
Music for the Halloween Art Show 2020 was provided by “The Goodfellas” – a performing trio made up of Elijah Miller on guitar and vocals, saxophonist Trent Litteral and bassist Christian Mullins, without their drummer, Aaron Stephens. The band offered up an entertaining combination of jazz and blues for a small audience of masked music lovers.
The Grayson Gallery & Art Center, Inc., will be open by invitation on October 30th for a F!nal Fr!day Halloween Art Show & Costume party with an opening reception from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
All current COVID-19 guidelines will be followed for attendees. Over two dozen artists submitted work for the GGAC’s popular annual exhibit and 60 pieces will be on display, with most for sale.
Music will be provided by the Goodfellas, an Eastern Kentucky jazz, fusion, funk, blues and soul band who perform across the area.
In addition, wearing a costume is encouraged to be eligible for the Costume Contest; various prizes will be given to winners.
An Awards and Announcements ceremony will take place at approximately 7:00 pm and will include the costume prize-winners as well art awards for the People’s Choice (by popular vote), the GGAC Board Choice and the Brandon Click Memorial Award (each at $50.00).

The team at All Creatures Veterinary Care on Main Street in Grayson hosted a “Meow & Howl-o-Ween Drive Thru Trick or Treat Parade” Thursday evening, providing treat bags to costumed and non-costumed kids and pets alike!
Staff members used duct tape and black suits to create “stick figure” costumes – many of which had comical details. The oversized masks also served as facial coverings, one of them pointed out.
Visitors who decorated their vehicles were given a chance to win a $50 gift certificate from the local veterinary clinic, which recently celebrated 25 years of service to the Tri-State’s pets and livestock under the supervision of Veterinarian Donald “Doc” Gibson.
