The Ripley County Tourism Bureau is partnering with the Tri-State Artisans Art Gallery in Batesville for a very unique event, “Art from the Heart, Throw Paint Like Pollock”, Saturday, July 26, beginning at 2:30 p.m. on George Street in Batesville. The event is designed to bring cre-ativity together with a fun way to raise money for non-profit or-ganizations.

Zanesville, Ohio artist and fire-fighter Allen Deaver is helping organize the event, as well as artist and gallery owner Jaime Mustaine of Batesville.

“One of our passions is helping local non-profit organizations raise money to continue doing great things in our community,” Mustaine said.

Non-profits from all over the tri-state area are invited to par-ticipate, bringing a team of 3-5 individuals to represent their or-ganization.

Each team will be given a 30x40 canvas, paints, and in-structions on creating Pollock-style art (with artist assistance if desired).

Teams are to meet at the Tri-State Artisans Gallery, 125 E. George Street, Batesville, Indi-ana, at 2:30 July 26.

The deadline to reserve a can-vas and participate is Friday, June 27.

Participating teams must pay a $40 entry fee and fill out the ap-plication: http://www.batesville.tsartisans.com/non-profit.html , which covers all of the supplies needed, including paint and a canvas.

Registered teams may also set up a booth to promote their non-

profit organization and/or sell pre-approved items. Each team will take their canvas with them, and sell it or use it to decorate.

Teams are encouraged to bring large support teams, to help cheer them on and help them win the big vote.

Everyone can vote on their fa-vorite painting (for $1), and the painting/team that receives the most votes will receive all of the voting funds.

More information about the event is available by calling 812-528-5748.

In addition to the Art from the Heart event, The Tri-State Arti-sans Gallery will be hosting Art with a Twist, a wine and canvas event, and Speed Painting for those who wish to try them out.

Free (or for a donation) events will include face painting, make-to-take pieces of art, art games, earring making, and make a re-cycled art project.

Randy’s Roadhouse is provid-ing live entertainment, and some artists will be setting up dem-onstrations. Non-profit organiza-tions will also have booths, some with activities.

The Ripley County Tourism Bu-reau is sponsoring a reception from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. at The Sher-man House Restaurant and Inn, 35 S. Main Street, Batesville. The winning team will be announced at the reception at 8:30 p.m.

“We’re very excited about this fun, creative way for organiza-tions to raise money, we hope everyone comes out to support their favorite charity,” said Kath-erine Taul, executive director of the Ripley County Tourism Bu-reau.

D i d y o u k n ow ?The Fourth of July has been a federal holiday since 1941. Though

that may seem like a long time for the country to wait to celebrate the independence it declared in 1776, the tradition of the Fourth of July, often referred to as Independence Day, dates back to the dawn of the American Revolution and the adoption of the Declara-tion of Independence on July 4, 1776. Since then, July 4th has been recognized as the dawn of American independence, and celebra-tions that included fireworks and parades can be traced back to the 18th century. On July 4, 1777, the city of Philadelphia, which would become the first capital of the United States of America, held the first annual commemoration of American independence, and exactly one year later George Washington ordered that all of his soldiers be offered double rations of rum to commemorate the anniversary. In 1781, Massachusetts was the first state to make July 4th an official state holiday, and the day was actually declared a federal holiday by the U.S. Congress in 1870. However, that declara-tion did not grant a paid holiday to federal employees. That benefit came in 1941, which is why that year is now recognized as the first year when the Fourth of July officially became a federal holiday.

g a m e sThe Special Olympics Indiana - Ri-

pley Ohio Dearborn Fire Truck Pull is slated for Saturday, Aug. 30, since three local Special Olympic athletes were be attending and winning at the 2014 Special Olympics USA Games in New Jersey this June. So, there’s plenty of time to gather up to 15 friends, raise $500 and pull a 74,000 fire truck in the Hollywood Casino overflow parking lot on U.S. 50 in Greendale.

The money raised allows athletes with intellectual disabilities to train

and compete on a local and state level in 20 Olympic-type sports.

Team members must sign a waiv-er of liability. Teams will line up on the rope attached to the fire engine. The official starter will signal when to start the pull. After the team pulls the fire engine 50 feet, or five minutes has elapsed, the stopwatch will stop. Elapsed time will be recorded as the team score. For more information call Greg Townsend at [email protected] or (812) 584-6861.

On Friday, July 4th, the City of Rising Sun will light up the night sky with fireworks on the river. The traditional event is being moved from the park to the river and it’s more than just a brilliant aerial display. You’ll want to come early.

At 10 p.m., fireworks will fill up the sky with their crackles and booms echoing through-out the river valley. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets and spread out along Rising Sun’s terraced river seating.

Fireworks will be launched near the old boat ramp. Front Street from First Street to Plum Street will be closed to both ve-hicle and pedestrian traffic.
