Chelle has been serving on the board of the Windsor based Cornish Colony Museum for the last couple of years. She was very involved this year in putting on the annual fundraiser which has traditionally been called the Great Gatsby. The name has significance in that F. Scott Fitzgerald, the author of The Great Gatsby was one of the author's whom Maxwell Perkins was the editor for. Maxwell Perkins, a Windsor resident lived in the home which is now being converted into an Inn by the Larson clan. (See www. snapdragoninn.blogspot.com) It was a great bash.
Brig played the gangster part well!
The Big Band, Gerry Grimo and the East Bay Ensemble was great.
The women especially were really into the dance.
We had the chance to acquire some art for the Parrish House. Three of the pieces were by Robert Way, an artist from North Carolina who grew up in Keene, NH and is very interested in light and the colors of Parrish.
One other really fun piece was done by a distant relative of Maxfield Parrish who had made a trip with her sisters to Vermont. We have this one now hanging in the living room at Parrish.

It's awesome that you're getting some good art work in the Parrish house. Even though you guys work hard when you go, it always appears to be a party.
because work is FUN right
Dad, you officially have awesome posts, and this fact is made even more true because I am taking the time to comment on them! ;) Nice pics, I also especially love the one of Anders with his hands over his face "playing" goalie.
