So It's Tuesday...

...and I've been thinking. Since I've joined the town's Arts Alive Committee, I've also realized that I don't know that I've ever heard of anyone in our town receiving an award for the Arts. As a matter of fact, I don't know that we've done many awards or citizen celebrations of the like in recent times. Maybe we need a few! I noticed that there are several communities that give a medal for the arts, or somethign similar. Why can't Franklinton? What about a community arts contest? I know we've finally gotten an active community theater program thanks to our high school...should we celebrate that more? How about a Youth Star of the Year award, or a Volunteer of the Year award?

That's what went through my head while I was driving to work this morning. Who knows what the next few months might bring?

I do know that they will bring an election campaign. I was informed today that I'm not the only 'horse in the race' at this point, though I was first to file. Regardless of who may enter the race, I truly do feel like I am the best person to represent our town at this point in time. If I didn't...I wouldn't have filed. I have received nothing but positive feedback and so many people have commented that they feel like I am the right person at the right time for this job. Those of you who have made comments or sent e-mails , you have no idea how much that means! I will be counting on your continued support over the next several months.

Have a great Tuesday!
