The Enchanted Animal Art Affaire

1 Jun 2013 - 28 Jun 2013

It's time again for the 3rd Annual Weaverville Enchanted Animal Affair! Each year
The Weaverville Business Association partners with artists from the town and surrounding
areas to collaborate on a fundraiser to promote the multi-faceted, vibrant community.
Similar to years past,local business owners will proudly display a one of a kind work
of art in their storefront. These enchanted animals are mastered through the creativity and
donated time of local artists who are passionate about giving back to the community.
This year there are a wide variety of artistic mediums on display, creating the most diverse
flock yet.

The first year the animal affair decorated the town with one-of-a-kind embellished chickens.
During the second year, ducks wandered the streets of Weaverville. So, many are
wondering what type of animal will descend upon the town this year. The 2013 Enchanted Animal
Affair will brighten the town with the light of the Phoenix!
These clever illuminated sculptures signify the Weaverville Business Association’s
mission to bolster the spirit of community through projects such as the animal
affair and the investment in the renovation of The Lake Louise Community Center.
The WBA is committed to promote Weaverville's local business and art community.

This year's affair will kick-off on May 24th at Maggie B's Wine & Specialty Store,
downtown Weaverville. From there, the phoenix will take flight to the sponsoring businesses.
They will nest there for the public to discover each illuminated
phoenix from June 1st through June 25th. Be sure to seek out each phoenix in the scavenger
hunt to be entered in a drawing to win one of the unique sculptures!

To conclude the Affair, the creatures will shine their brilliant light for
the public for the last time at one of Weaverville's most anticipated summer events, the 2013
Enchanted Animal Affair Gala and Auction. The phoenixes will be auctioned off at the Lake Louise
Community Center located at 60 Lakeshore Drive in Weaverville. This is a must-see event that welcomes
everyone and will fire up the night on Friday, June 28th from 6:00-8:00. Tickets will be $10 for the event, which includes a cash bar and hors d'oeurves from a selection of local restaurants. There will be other items for auction, music and a lot of fun.Visit the Weaverville Business Association website (www.visitweaverville.com) or Facebook page for more information and profiles of the participating businesses and artists. Come support the local art and business community in
Weaverville and help preserve what you love most about the quaint little gem of a town!
