Barry Draper discusses his trip with guests.

The Empty Bowls event on Friday, Oct. 9th was a huge success! And for those of us involved it was tremendous fun. We had a full house for both seatings and everyone was able to enjoy Barry and Gretchen’s presentation on their trip to Peru as it was conveniently plunked between the two seatings. Genius!

The Studio was dressed up a bit with pictures by the fourth and fifth grade and Jen’s Haiti posters. The tables were covered with newsprint and colorful table runners created in an art block. The soups were spectacular and varied. I wished I had a little cup so I could try them all! We are all so grateful for the enormous amount of positive energy that went into making this event such a success and so much fun…and on top of all that we raised $1000 for New Beginnings!

If you missed the event you can go to the website and see pictures…but the tastes…well, you’ll just have to imagine those.
