Monday, September 9

Presenter: Felicia Stadelman

Subject: Dr. Seuss, “Through the Eyes of the Artist”
Sponsored by: The Atrium at Anna Maria’s

“Through the Eyes of the Artist” is an artist biography lecture series created by Felicia Stadelman. Inspired by her own enthusiasm for art, coupled with her education and background in art history, this program has been designed to provide a richer insight through the artist’s personal perspective.

Originally funded by a grant from the Cleveland Museum of Art to help bring art into the lives of school children, the series has evolved into a program for people of all ages interested in uncovering the fascinating details of the lives and works of some of our most renowned and influential artists.
For the past 15 years Felicia has trained over 400 art docents, and delivered art history lectures in schools and communities in the Cleveland, Rhode Island and Massachusetts area.

This presentation offers an exclusive view into the remarkable life of Doctor Seuss. It is enhanced with music, prints, and wonderful images to help tell the story of the artist. In addition, every member of the audience will receive an overview of the artist, and a notecard memento.

By learning about the artists, we can begin to understand the meaning that is communicated to us through their artwork. You will find Felicia’s unique approach to this subject extremely captivating. Please join us for this truly enriching experience.

No bull____, this will be a good time! Yee-haw!

Creekbend Ranch is a working cattle ranch that specializes in the breeding and training of professional bucking bulls. The national award-winning caliber of bulls raised here allows them to take their bucking stock to professional rodeos and bull ridings across the country. Creekbend Ranch is also home to Buckin’ Ohio, a summer bull riding series that draws thousands of bull riding fans to the ranch during their events. The 100-acre working cattle ranch was founded in 1997. The Buckin’ Ohio series began in 2002.

We will have lunch in the vintage barn and do a meet and greet with a cowboy! We will have a bull’s eye tour of the arena, see a cowboy on horseback working the bulls and go on a hayride to check the cattle and the fences.

Cost: $55 (includes lunch)

This trip was cancelled in June due to flooding in Canal Fulton. We are pleased that Hey Mavis Duo could reschedule!

Hey Mavis will interweave music, storytelling and history in an engaging performance that features original songs and artwork from their book/CD “Silver Ribbon Dream – Songs & Stories of the Ohio & Erie Canal.” The group has performed standing-room-only shows at the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival as well as nine consecutive sold-out concerts in their hometown of Akron, Ohio. In 2018, Melissa Etheridge hand-picked Hey Mavis to be one of the headliners for her music cruise.

Laurie Michelle Caner (vocals, banjo, songwriting) is a homeschooling mom, a songwriter and Ms. May in the 2015 Banjo Babes Calendar. Yes, she’s pretty. Her husband, Eddie Caner (violin, viola profunda) spent a dozen years performing as a sideman in national touring bands and orchestras, including Luciano Pavarotti, Smokey Robinson and Natalie Cole. He spends his free time as a physics instructor at Case Western Reserve University.

Cruising down the canal while being pulled by beautiful horses and listening to some lovely music – it just doesn’t get any better than that. Afterward we will have dinner at Canal Grille. (On your own).

Cost: $28

Come and wine down with us as we enjoy a tasting of three of their most popular wines. We will have appetizers, chicken marsala, pizza, salad and cookies. We will also have raffle prizes.

Bill and Cookie Delgado own the winery and they bought the property at a sheriff’s sale in 2015. Bill will tell us about how their love for wine brought about the Blind Squirrel Winery and all they had to go through to get it up and running. Through local winemakers and educators at Kent State and Ohio State Universities, they learned about wine making. Now, that they are wine educated, Bill, a retired teacher is going to test our wine knowledge through some wine trivia questions, so get your thinking caps on!

This fundraiser will help Primetime continue our mission to provide enriching opportunities for social involvement and a sense of community in our congregation and beyond.

Cost: $55 (includes dinner and wine tasting). Make checks payable to Federated Chruch.

RSVP to 440.247.6490 by October 7.
