These photos were taken August 7th at my Art Show at the Fort Smith Art Center. In the first photo I am with Mayor Ray Baker. He gave me a certificate declaring August 7th "Sharon De Vore Gonzalez Day" and another certificate making me an "Honorary Citizen of Fort Smith" since I do not live in Fort Smith; and a lovely rose. Very nice touches. The 2nd photo is with my 2 little granddaughters, Megan and Joanna. Many many people were there and 3 were Art Wanted Members, 2 of which I had never met before. The 3rd is a good friend. Yes, it was very exciting and fun for me. :-) I hope that you enjoy!
