Henry Arts Alliance - Parade of Pumpkins
Henry For Music has partnered with Henry County Public Library System to continue promoting childhood literacy by hosting our (2) decorated pumpkins, on display now at the Locust Grove Public Library.
Created by Lead Artist Adryan Joy Franklin (@ArtByAdryanJoy), she welcomed artistic help from Henry For Music's Youth Orchestra United students, staff and teachers to create the pumpkins as part of the Henry Arts Alliance's "Parade of Pumpkins" at Piedmont Henry Hospital in September.
Each year, since 2003, the Henry Arts Alliance partners with McDonough Public Library and Piedmont Henry Hospital promoting children's literacy with community members' decorated pumpkins representing children's books.
Pumpkin 1: The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt earned the Display Honors at OrthoAtlanta Stockbridge's Physical Therapy Department in October.
Pumpkin 2: The Legend of Messy M'Cheany by Kathie Lee Gifford stopped off in its parade march at the McDonough Public Library for the Fall Festival of Storytelling aka "Monster Mash" in October.
Henry For Music is finishing out its own home stretch of the "Parade of Pumpkins" so be on the look out:
