Hobby horsing is the “safe, fun and affordable way to ride horses”. Riders participating in competitive hobby horsing – a toy consisting of a stick with a model horse head – perform and mimic the movements and technicality of horseback riding in the disciplines of show jumping and dressage, then translate that to their stick horse, where judges will mark and score their rounds. For participants competing in show jumping, courses are set with tricky combinations and patterns, similar to the show jumping competitions seen at TIEC throughout the year. Individuals must register by noon on event day.

I Am Home is gearing up for another art show at Ginger’s Revenge!
We are a community of artists who are homeless, at risk, recently homed, or feel drawn to the cause. We meet twice weekly at Haywood Street Congregation, where we produce all of our art for the show.
••Details••
-over 10 artists’ art on display (those who have been affiliated with our project since it originated, and artists who have freshly joined)
-When you decide to buy art, the artist them-self receives 100% of your contribution, helping them feel loved, appreciated, and motivated to keep going.
-when you decide to show up, donate monetarily or offer art supplies to our project itself, we can sustain our initiative. Every dollar goes a long way, every art supply you don’t use anymore does as well.
-you’ll have the chance to meet and connect with many artists in person
– enter into a raffle for a chance to win a piece created by our volunteer artists
– enjoy hors’ devours while scoping out the scene
Our art shows are a time to showcase all of our artists’ hard work, to celebrate the leaps and bounds we’ve been able to accomplish. We’ve been a nonprofit for 2 years and we’re still so young- we need your help to get the word out there!
Bring your family, your kids, bring your friends, your partners, bring your blind date, the person you’ve been wanting to hang out with but haven’t yet, or scoop up a friendly stranger on the way.

This ain’t no Jet-Set band! David Zoll and Laura Blackley perform old-school country duets (and play guitars) a la George and Tammy, Gram and Emmylou, and Loretta and Conway. Tom Pittman (host of WNCW’s Country Gold) plays pedal steel and the band is rounded out by a solid rhythm section comprised of Stephen Frankel on bass and Richard Foulk on drums. Vocal harmonies swimming in pedal steel that you can dance to. George and Tammy would be proud.
