Preparations are under way!

The Community Center is a flurry of activity as volunteers prepare for CHVProm, the art show & fair, and all the activities that will be under way at this time tomorrow. Thanks to everyone who is helping make this Cheverly Day great!

It always amazes me that our humble Community Center gym can go from a big, empty space to a charming, intimate party in just one day. Tables are already set up, decorations are being added, games of chance are being unloaded (thanks, Jolene) and Emily is playing her favorite hits of the '80s. It's magic time!

Liz Lescault and Casey Kneipp have done a tremendous job setting up the art show -- CHVProm attendees will be able to see some of the work tonight, but to really get the whole scope of the show and fair, you'll need to visit the Community Center tomorrow between noon and 5pm.

Finally, the Public Works crew is hard at work all over town today making Cheverly look its very best. Make sure to wave and say thanks because they're working hard for all of us. The softball field will be gorgeous for tomorrow's game at noon!

This really is a special weekend -- we hope you enjoy all there is to experience this Cheverly Day!

2012 Art Show & Fair Artists & Craftspeople

We are amazed at the sheer volume of creative people right here in Cheverly -- it's a wondrous thing and it makes Cheverly a very special place. This year's Art Show & Fair features over 30 of your neighbors and friends -- that's an impressive display of talent for a relatively small town!

Special thanks to Liz Lescault, Pat Nelson, and Casey Kneipp for organizing this special event and for encouraging the arts and artists here in Cheverly. You can learn about all of our artists on the Art Show page on our website. And make sure to visit the Community Center on Saturday, May 12, to see some of the very best work of our hometown artists.

The Arts Are Alive & Well in Cheverly!

 We're adding more artists' bios and photographs to our 2012 Cheverly Day Art Show! From handmade walking sticks and juggling gear by Deciduous Dave Konieczk in the Art Fair on the Lawn to gorgeous photography from Teresa Castracane in the Art Show inside the Community Center, there will be a lot of wonderful work to see and share this Cheverly Day!

Another Artist at Cheverly Day: Helen Crosskey

Helen Crosskey may, in fact, be the person who came up with the idea for Made in Cheverly at Cheverly Community Market last year. She makes wonderful jewelry, hats and clothing. Make sure to visit her among the artists this year at Cheverly Day, and see our growing artist page on the Cheverly Day website!
