CCA News July 2008
The busy summer season is here! We hope that your summer
plans include some rest and relaxation as well as some
interesting artistic, cultural and musical activities.
Thanks to everyone who attended our June CCA events - the
Chamber Music Concert, the Water Heritage Festival, Music
at the Dock, the Robert Wise Film Festival and, of course,
the 2nd Saturday Art Stroll. Seemed like there was
something for everyone in the mix. Check out the photos of
all of these events on the CCA web site!
July is a busy month on the Island with the Chincoteague
Fireman’s Carnival (beginning July 3), the annual Pony Swim
and Auction (July 29 & 30) and the Chincoteague Blueberry
Festival (July 25-27). In addition, CCA sponsors the
monthly 2nd Saturday Art Stroll on Saturday, July 12. A
variety of artistic and cultural events will take place in
participating shops, galleries and museums from 6:00 –
10:00pm. Three daytime events this month include a
demonstration and exhibit by the Chincoteague Decoy and
Carvers Association at the Robert Reed Waterfront Park from
3:00 – 7:00pm and demonstrations of metalsmithing and
soapmaking by Marianne and Jim Warren at the Oyster and
Maritime Museum. At Egret Moon Artworks, Polly and Theresa
will be making mosaics all day and evening.
During the evening, look for demonstrations and exhibits of
painting, writing, basket-making, metalsmithing, soapmaking
and ceramics, wine-tasting and other treats as well as
several varieties of music. For a full listing of the
evening events, check the CCA web site or pick up an
InfoMap at participating shops as well as local
restaurants, lodging and the Chincoteague Chamber.
New! CCA Member events on the web site. Many of our CCA
member shops, galleries and museums host artistic and
cultural events on dates other than the 2nd Saturday Art
Stroll. Click on the Member Events button on the web site
