Fig Party

On Thursday evening, Feb.  21, after Pilates class I stopped at the Kennett Square Inn for the launch party of Fig Kennett Magazine's Art & Culture Issue. It's a very attractive and well-organized magazine, full of nice graphics and lovely photos.
It was great to get out and see some different faces after this long stretch of bad winter weather: friend and neighbor Claire Murray of Inverbrook Farm and the Kennett Farmers Market; Kristin Pronto, executive director of the Garage Community and Youth Center; K.C. Kulp of The Whip Tavern; Lynn Esdale of Lynn Victoria Skincare in Chadds Ford; Matt Grieco of Grieco Funeral Homes; Francine Covelli of Nourish Juice Bar & Café in the Market at Liberty Place; and host Steve Warner of the Kennett Square Inn.
I sat down with a plate of appetizers and chatted with my pal Dave Dickens, whose business, Drowning Trout Outfitters, is featured in the magazine. The strikingly handsome photo shows him in mid-stream and mid-cast.
Mary Hutchins of Historic Kennett Square was also at the party, talking up an "Evening of the Arts" art show and sale that's going to be held from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, April 4 at the Genesis Building at State and Union Streets.
