Shoe-la-brate good times, c'mon!
My friend Tina's got a 'thing' for shoes, so events like this jump out at me. Then again, who wouldn't feel the need to ogle 5-foot-tall shoes on display throughout town?
Through the month of October, 10 5-foot fiberglass shoes, decorated by various artists to commemorate Haverhill’s heritage as a shoe-making hub, are on display in prominent locations downtown. The Soles of Haverhill “Shoe-la-bration” is a first-time community art celebration. These whimsical pieces will be auctioned at a gala at the Buttonwoods Museum on Oct. 24 with proceeds to support local nonprofits. Lawn art never looked so good? Check online for details.
