FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 1, 2006

 

The Ashland Downtown Arts community will host a benefit for Judy Sizemore on Ashland’s First Friday.  Judy Sizemore is the Regional Outreach Director for the Kentucky Arts Council     and has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is facing major medical expenses.  Judy does not have medical insurance, and since she worked last year, she does not qualify for any government financial aid.  Our community has benefited from Judy’s selfless efforts to ensure that arts programs are an integral part of Kentucky schools and communities.  The following sponsors will be accepting donations at their locations:  Highlands Museum, Ashland Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, Ashland Alliance, Adams Christian Book Store,  Pendleton Arts Center, Ann Davis Gallery, Upstairs Gallery, Arts Council of Northeast Kentucky, Paramount Arts Center and The Frame Up Gallery.

 

Local musicians have kindly agreed to volunteer their time for the benefit that is to be held at the Highlands Museum, 1620 Winchester Ave. on April 7, 2006.   Refreshments will be served and admission is by donation only. The entertainment will be:

John Thornsbury – 5:00

Larry Pancake accompanied by Phil Osborne  6:30
