Gazebo-Palooza offers a taste of Grafton

A little girl spun and danced in the courtyard of the Grafton Town House, her pink skirt of rainbows and unicorns flaring out, unable to resist the music.

She wasn’t the only one.

Jordan Boulevard and the courtyard behind the Grafton Town House was filled with food booths and crowds for the first Gazebo-Palooza, a fundraiser for the Small Stones Arts, planned for October 15-24. Food samples were donated by area restaurants, including Bushel ‘N Peck, The Cake Shop, Cancun’s, Grafton Grill & Crust, The Grafton Inn, Pepperoni Express, Post Office Pub, Reunion Table & Tap and Town House Tavern

The silent auction items donated by local businesses including Ace Ticket, The Bread Guy, The Cake Shop, Grafton Country Store, Highfields Golf and Country Club, Houlden Farms, Jubilee Chocolate, Pecorino Artisanal Cheese and Fine Wine, Quite Fetching Barkery & Pet Boutique, Touchstone Crystal, and Wicked Twisted Pretzels.

Small Stones Festival of the Arts, a juried fine art painting and photography exhibit accompanied by music and literary programs, juror and artist talks and an art collection presentation, runs October 15-24. The exhibit is at the Great Hall, One Grafton Common and programs will be held there as well as the Grafton Public Library and Congregational Church of Grafton.For more information about the Festival, visit https://www.smallstonesfestival.org or contact Ken Crater at ken@graftonarts.org
