On Wednesday March 8th, Mrs. Ricks of the ST. Patrick's Fesival Committee and I met Leah Stanley at the office of the Courier-Herald Newpaper. I carried the 100 pots with me and we set them up in one of the conference room where Mrs. Stanley took pictures and interviewed us.
The article appeared in the paper on the 15th. A picture of one of the pots was in the upper left hand corner of the front page along with the page number where the article appeared. The article and pictures took up the whole 1st page of the Living Section. The printed a huge full color picture of the pots with the article placed to the left of the big picture. Another smaller picture appeared beneath the larger one that showed me presenting Mrs. icks with one of the pots. There was also another picture of some of the pots along with some of the other sourvenirs that appeared on another page in the paper.
The ladies of the committee carried all but 20 of the pots to the big Pancake Supper
the following afternoon and sold all that they carried by 7:15 and could have sold many more. The remaining pots were sold at a lunceon on Friday and at the Arts and Craft Show at the park on Saturday.
I think I had forgot to note that each pot was dated and serialized.
In a couple of weeks we will begin discussing next years project which will be a different type of pot and we may do 200 to 250 of them. The plan is to do a different piece each year and eventually get up to 500 per year.
