Miss Fountain City Entertains at Arts Festival







Over 25,000 people came out to join the fun at this year's Fountain City Arts Festival. The event featured over 50 artists, two sound stages and food and fun for the entire family! A big part of the day was the opportunity to participate in the arts through "hands-on" experiences for the young and the young at heart!

Special guest entertainer was Jaye Herrod, Miss Fountain City 2008. She took the stage at 9:45 a.m. and entertained the crowds with broadway and spiritual music. A talented pianist, Herrod proved that her talent doesnt' stop with the ivory keys. She did a marvelous redition of "For Good" from the musical, "Wicked".

She then joined in the fun by serving as a Celebrity Artists for the Prattauga Art Guild. Painters were given large canvases by which to create their masterpieces. These will be auctioned off in May at the Prattville CityFest. Proceeds will go to the City's arts programs.

After leaving the stage, Herrod joined internationally renowed artist, Charlie "TinMan" Lucas, and helped children create pieces of art out of junk items. Many were more concerned with her crown than the wires they were twisting. So, Herrod fielded lots of questions from the children while helping them create exciting art to take home.
