On October 30, 1938, intended as a Halloween Eve treat, Columbia Broadcasting System Mercury Theatre on Air broadcast a dramatization of H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds, and unintentionally sparked panic and hysteria across America. 

This October the WCA will be recreating that broadcast http://www.winnsborocenterforthearts.com/on our stage, using the original script written by Howard Koch with permission from his widow, Anne Koch.  Director Maryann Miller will be holding auditions on July 31, Aug. 2 and 3 at 6:30 pm.  Adults and teens are invited to audition.

If you’d like to read up on the 1938 broadcast, go to: www.war-of-the-worlds.co.uk .

On Friday, July 20, the historic downtown area of Winnsboro was alive, well with just about every space that even looked like a parking  spot filled.  (No parking meters anywhere! All parking is free, day or night.)

The usual suspects - Art & Espresso, Keyring Gallery, Silhouette Dressmaking, Sayadeam Studio, Winnsboro Emporium , Liefie's and Beauweevils - opened their doors for the evening.

The only way to describe the evening was fun.  The businesses that organize the 3rd Friday Art Walk are scheduling themed events to make it more fun.  Don't worry.  We'll alert you ahead of time what the upcoming themes are.

The downtown area was flooded with people from the surrounding lakes as well as locals in steampunk costumes.

What is steampunk? The best examples are in the works of Jules Verne and other imaginative authors of the time.  You see how the new Industrial Era excited the imaginations of  Victorians. Much of the literature and illustrations of the time reflect how people thought the 20th century would look like with airships, exciting expeditions and much more.

Steampunk fashion is based on Victorian dress, with the addition of industrial symbols. For example, railroad-style watches point to the extensive railways laid to make travel easier. Goggles are a nod to aeronauts and airships.  Gears and custom gadgets are often blended together with clothing, "weapons" and strange inventions.

You'll find more photos on Winnsboro-related facebook pages.
 

A "come and go" open house was held at the new location of AfterGlow Productions now located in a spacious addition to Clements Realtors.  Friends and customers stopped in from 10 am to 4 pm to see the new space for AfterglowProductions.

The new addition built by Michael Monk's capable crew blends flawlessly with the historic building Clements Realtors restored.

The Burnetts own Clements Realtors and with AfterGlow Productions now in residence, all the family businesses are in one location on South Main Street.

AfterglowProductions provides a variety of services including computer technical services, transfer of video to DVD, and even computer supplies, such as laser toner cassettes at a discount.
