And, then back home to Georgetown, where a guild of multi-disciplined fibre artists called the Group of Eight Fibre Artists (GOE) are displaying and selling their works at Main Street Inn. These fibre artists work with diverse materials from around the world and locally found materials, including, fabric, wood, metal, paper, felt, wax and beads. They incorporate various techniques, such as machine and hand-stitching, encaustic work, and other techniques into their multi-media works of art. Friends Heather Van Riesen and Linda Kittmer, both former traditional quilt guild members, began to approach others equally interested in a fibre art venture. Formed in 2006, the initial group of eight like-minded individuals, has already outgrown their name and now number 10 artists. Links to their blogs can be found by looking up GOE at http://goegeorge- town.blogspot.com. You are invited to enjoy their display of fibre art, at Main Street Inn, located at 126 Main St. S. in historic downtown Georgetown till the end of November. The Show boasts 79 different pieces of reasonably-priced fiber art. Main Street Inn is open for lunch, brunch and dinner, Wednesday to Sunday (905-702-5411). Artists participating are back row (from left) Donna Fun- nell, Doeteke Hanzelka, Heather Van Riesen and Linda Kittmer and in front (from left) Leah Hughes, Ann Totten, Judy Makinson and Kit Lang. Thread binds the local Group of Eight artists Explore the world of real-life para- normal activity in some of Ontario's heritage buildings on Saturday, October 19, at Devereaux House in Georgetown. The Searcher Group, Canada's oldest paranormal investigations and research team, will share their experiences, find- ings and communications with the spirits from historic Toron- to Exhibition buildings to oth- ers within Halton Hills. "We're not 'ghostbusters'," said in- vestigator and local resident Peter Roe. "We do not claim to rid a building of its ghosts or spirits. Rather, we investi- gate and research to find out if spirits are present and who they are. Quite often, they have a story to tell and we listen. If the hauntings are severe, we look for resolutions between the living and the spirits so they may co- exist." The thought-provoking and some- times spine-tingling presentation is presented by Searcher Group founder Richard Palmisano. Audience members can ask questions. Tickets are $10 in advance only, for the 6:30 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. presentations. Call 905-877-1861, or email ann@devereauxhouse.ca to re- serve.
