Frazier For the CLARION NEWS COOK FOREST “I love it here. I never knew I would love it this much,” said Karen Hazlett, executive director of the Cook Forest Sawmill Cen- ter for the Arts. In her second year as executive director, Hazlett has learned a lot about the center and how it works, “There are many things going on here that nobody knows about. We’re work- ing to get the word out.” Responsible for leading the organization and its four components, the Verna Leith Theater, the artisan and craft market, the festi- vals and the art classes and workshops, Hazlett has been working toward expansion and advertising. “The staff, including Chris- tine Hendryx, does an amazing job. We have this fantastic facility and all its resources right here in our own backyard. We have top- notch performing and visu- al arts.
