3. Artist of the Month for NovemberR.L. Whitewolf Rider
Whitewolf was born in Connecticut. As an adult, he traveled around the country backpacking until he settled here in Proctorsville, 3 years ago; a town he describes as a Norman Rockwell painting in the winter and an inspiration year around because of the town’s feeling of peace and tranquility. His earliest artistic influence was his foster father. He was further influenced by Mrs. Haddad, a well-known artist in Litchfield Connecticut, in the 1960s and by Jackie Foley an artist in Brandon, VT. Though art is a personal pursuit to him, he was also influenced by Salvador Dali as well as W. Foster and Ira.

Whitewolf’s work may be seen in the Redfield Proctor Room of the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library during normal operating hours in November.

4. The Scholastic Bookfair is coming to Cavendish
The Cavendish Fletcher Community Library will be hosting its annual fall bookfair at the library from November 16-20 during normal open hours. The theme will be “Destination Bookfair: Read around the World” and will focus on multicultural literature and decorations. This year the bookfair will have materials for patrons from birth to adulthood, including the Twilight saga. A selection of Spanish Language books will also be available.

Different contests will be held Monday-Thursday allowing patrons a chance to win prizes from the fair. Our principal, George Thomson has agreed to dress up in a multicultural costume if we make our book sale goal. Patrons will be able to vote with their change on how they would like Mr. Thomson to dress up. The choices will be Scottish (a kilt) German (Lederhosen) or Chinese (changshan). No matter which choice wins, it will certainly be a sight to see.

All members of the public are welcome to come in and shop and vote. FMI: Kata at 226-7503.
