The Segway Way

Selma police recently acquired a few Segway patrol vehicles.

Tutus

Ballet anyone?

Ballerina tutus are a popular item for little girls these days, and I spotted these for sale at Selma's Riverfront Market Day last weekend.

The Montgomery Ballet is coming to Selma in November,and 41 local ballet students will be featured in some of the numbers with the professional dancers. How exciting for our young ballerinas!

Great Glass!

So, it was with great difficulty that I resisted buying this multi-colored creation of Great-Glass!

Great-Glass is a collection of fused glass that's molded and fired into platters,bowls, pendants and tree ornaments.

Mimi Boston and Robin Jackson of Birmingham displayed their wares at Saturday's Riverfront Market Day.

"Through My Eyes" Contest: Pettus Bridge Wins Again

This magnificent picture of the Pettus Bridge and Water Avenue buildings along the river at sunset won first place in the recent Arts Revive photography contest.
Kathy Price won $100 and a blue ribbon for her composition with the "Through My Eyes...Selma's Historic Architecture" theme. Photos had to include a view of all or some part of one of Selma's historic buildings. The photographs were displayed at Riverfront Market Day last weekend.

Last year's winner can be viewed HERE.
The 2007 theme was the river, and the blue ribbon picture featured a portion of the Pettus Bridge. Another bridge photo won third place this year while the St. Paul's Episcopal Church tower won second.

To see more winning photos, go to this article on The Selma Times-Journal website.
Note the gargoyle in the other blue-ribbon photo. It won the junior division and was entered by my young neighbor, Elizabeth Wilson.

Congratulations to all!
