ArtsFest 2013....How did it all begin?
One sunny day in May 1996, Athens Area High School art teacher Dave Webster and a
few of his pottery students decided to take the pottery wheels outside and began “throwing
some pots”--a term used for making a pot on the wheel. Not too many minutes passed
before those at work discovered they had an audience. Several neighbors took an interest in
what was happening and were fascinated by the hypnotic act of making a pot on the
spinning wheel.
The following May, Mr. Webster decided to turn it up a notch and host a day-long event
of students working on the wheels outdoors. He called it a festival--The First Annual
Throw-a-Thon. Mr. Webster invited elementary students, teachers, friends, and family
members to “throw” with the pottery students.
However, even though this festival was titled “The First Annual”, it was 1999 before
another festival was held. A group of students, led by Jeremy Hicks, challenged Mr. Webster
to bring back the Festival and expand it to an ArtsFest. The students encouraged fellow art
teacher, Louella Gilbert, to join in the effort. With the support of the Athens Area School
District and then-superintendent Tom Salpino, the 1999 ArtsFest was off and running.
Sixteen artisans participated and hundreds of local residents attended the event.
With the help and drive of students and community members, the Fourteenth Annual
ArtsFest on May 4th & 5th, 2013, will host nearly 200 juried artisans and will expect to see
an attendance of over 40,000 strong from local communities and the surrounding areas of
New York and Pennsylvania and beyond.

ENTERTA INMENT
Laura Orshaw and the
New Velvet Band
The Rockets were originally formed in 1976 by
three Towanda natives Kurt Foster, bass and lead
vocals, Kevin Murray, keyboards, guitar, lead
vocals, and Jim Hoag, guitar and lead vocals. The
last edition was drummer Tim Chamberlain from
Troy, PA. With their mix of superb vocals and lay
in the pocket rock and roll grooves, the Rockets
quickly became one of the area's premier Classic
Rock Band.
Ellis Callahan and Drew
Bastian of Crooked Son
lost a guitar player to
Nebraska. They decided
that rockin' only needed the two of them
anyway. Their only concern is raw rock 'n roll be
it Classic, Southern, Alternative, Blues, or
Ironic. Whatever it is, it's raucous. These two
have higher aspirations however. Be ye warned...
Digger
Jones is a
power trio
with the
sound of a
much larger band. The group takes a
down-home approach to mixing roots
music with jam inspired rock. Justin Raynor grew up in
the small town of Bentley
Creek, Pennsylvania. Justin
has displayed a love of music
his entire life, yet he did not discover his love for
acoustic guitar until his freshman year in college.
Justin received his first guitar as a graduation gift from
his uncle, Scott Bolster.
All members originally hail from the
central NY area and are now in the
process of writing and recording new
material for their debut album release. The trio can be found performing their
blend of blues, funk and rock around New
York with plans for more extensive touring
in 2011.
www.oldboyrecords.com
Justin began teaching himself how to play guitar, not
with sheet music, but by listening, and using
memorization. He then began to incorporate singing
into his practice and, after much positive feedback, he
ventured into the entertainment industry.
Justin now entertains hundreds of people at numerous
events throughout the area. He currently resides in
Bentley Creek with his wife, Ashley, and two children,
Ella and Easton.
Other ArtsFest performers include:

The Red Eyes Formed
in the winter of '07, the
band started playing
shows locally. With
venues such as Athens
Artsfest and the summer
sound stage at the Root's,
we were definitely a
small town band with big
time dreams. The band has evolved
much since then playing many private
parties, bars, fundraisers, and more stuff
that we really can't remember. Our
similar yet very different understandings
and preferences of music have kept us
together. All graduating from the class of
'08 from Athens, we have been best
friends for a very long time. However,
until recently did we decide to form a
band. It's unusual to have such a
connection with the people that are in the
band but we really are a tight group that
has stuck together through thick and thin.
We lost a member in December of 2010,
Ian Wiles, to Thalassemia. It tore us
down, but at the same time brought us
closer than ever. His life was an
inspiration to all of us and today, we still
play for him. Love you E! www.theredeyesmusic.com

The many, many Hospitality Volunteers
Athens Area School District Art and Pottery
The ArtsFest committee wanted to give back to the community, so we
combined the creative skills of student potters with the culinary skills of some
excellent area cooks and created the annual Souper Bowl project. This year's
event was called Fuel Your Neighbor, with funds raised going to The Bridge
for fuel vouchers to area residents. Pictured from left to right are Jeannine
Duncan, Athens Area Education Association, Bobette and Dick Friend
accepting a check for $1,800 on behalf of The Bridge, and Dave Webster,
ArtsFest creator and director. Watch for the annual Souper Bowl event
around Valentine's Day each year.
