Blanche Gosselin photos Arts and Framing, operated by Sheri Sochor, is reputed to be the only place in the world where Carroll Watercolorist and illustrator of children’s books Normand Chartier stands between four of his representative works. Spinney’s paintings of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch can be purchased.

BY BLANCHE GOSSELIN VILLAGER CORRESPONDENT PUTNAM — On the clock, it might have registered four hours, but the 5 to 9 p.m. first- ever Gallery Stroll July 3 in downtown Putnam was anything but drawn-out; in fact, the time was filled with art, music, food, and fun for every age. From the sounds of a classical violin and an acoustic guitar, to kids’ cartoon drawing and a sidewalk chalk contest, to a demon- stration of pottery-making, to featured nationally-renowned artists, to the display of soft wearables woven from alpaca yarn, to readings at Victoria Station Cage, the oppor- tunities to learn, hear, see and taste were almost more than visitors could take in. Impressive in itself was the welcoming spirit of every sponsor, each one willing to share his or her art background. “I’m an illustrator of over 70 children’s books, 18 of which were done for Sesame Left to right: “Truffle Lady” Tami Hamel demonstrates her art of decorating chocolate bars.

Advice and Tips on How Cash for Clunkers (or CARS) Works For a Federal Program, CARS Fairly Straightforward for Trading Used Cars for New

You could trade in your 2001 Cadillac Seville for a 2009 Nissan Altima hybrid. You get similar ride quality and performance, plus a $4500 trade-in credit from the government. Seems like a strong incentive to trade in your used car. (In addition, you receive hybrid tax credits, too, for purchasing the Altima.)
