United Way Art Gala Features
Variety of Items by Local Artists

United Way of the Bradford Area, Inc. will host the 2nd Annual Spring Arts Gala on Thursday, April 19th at the Bradford Club. The event will feature over 30 pieces of artwork donated from local artists, including paintings, framed photographs, wood carvings, glass sculpture, jewelry, and hand crafted furniture. Tim Asinger will act as head auctioneer for the event, with a guest auctioneer appearance by Woody Woodruff.

When we planned the Spring Art Gala last year, we had a vision of creating an event that showcased the local talent of the Bradford community, in a festive networking atmosphere. This year, we have been overwhelmed with the scope of talent and variety of artists that have agreed to donate hand crafted items for the auction. From students with the Bradford Area High School art club, to inmates with FCI McKean, to area artists such as Denise Drummond, Sean Huntington, Alan Hancock, Jay Monti, and Gina Zetts, among others, we know that this year’s gala will well represent the local art community. Pictures of the donated items are on your Facebook page, as well as our website.

All proceeds from the event will benefit United Way, which helps support 17 health and human service agencies and 38 programs in the Bradford area, and touches the lives of many residents in the Bradford community.

Event sponsors include Northwest Investment & Trust Services, Pembroke Foundation, Zippo/Case Museum, W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery and Quinn Pump & Supply.

The event begins at 6:30 p.m. with cocktails and heavy hors d’oeuvres, along with entertainment. Both a live and silent auction will begin at 7:30 p.m.. Tickets are $50 each and include three drink tickets and a stemless wine class as a token of our appreciation. For a complete list of artists participating in the event, or to reserve tickets to the event, please visit www.uwbanews.org, or by phone at 814-368-6181.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly...
