In the local weekly edition of the (2nd) local paper today was an article about an upcoming winterfest type holiday carnival being sponsored by the Greater Brandon Community Foundation. Called Winterfest at Winthrop, this is taking place right next door to the BCAC. The article mentions a couple of folks by name, most notably the developer of Winthrop, John Sullivan ... he seems like my kind of guy and I look forward to eventually meeting him and hearing bout his vision or the Center and the area overall. It sounds to me as though he is in it for more than the potential money ... but it doesn't hurt to make a few bucks on the back-end.
In the meantime, my wife and I stopped by a branch of the local library system we usually don't frequent (she was looking for a particular title). The library shares a building with Center Place - the Fine Arts and Civic Association for the area. I had read in my research of the BCAC history that Center Place and the BCAC were/are supposed to have a relationship. So, doing what I do best, I stopped in to Center Place and introduced myself to the Executive Director Dawn Galia. It turns out that Center Place will be holding their annual gala at the BCAC next Spring (2011). Like I always say -- you should never be shy about introducing yourself and getting to know people.
