On Feb. 24, Latchis Arts - and Brattleboro - celebrated Hollywood in a big way, with the first-ever broadcast of the Academy Awards on our big screen. (I think after the fact we can now utter the name!) And it was a blast.
We applaud all who dressed up and came out to support Latchis Arts. Hundreds joined to celebrate the best movies of 2012. They walked the red carpet, greeted by paparazzi and pressed for live interviews. Prizes were drawn for naming the big winners and also for looking as glamorous as movie stars.
Standing ovations are due the sponsors and volunteers who worked behind the scenes and in front of the camera to make this event such a success. As every award winner knows, along with our mothers, there are many who help us get where we need to go.
We thank our sponsors: Beck's Studio Hair Design, Miranda's on Main, Offerings Jewelry, Mondo Mediaworks, Minuteman Press, The Bridal Boutique at Taylor for Flowers, WVEW, Steve Twiss, C&S Wholesale Grocers, Windham Wines, G. Housen, The Commons, Latchis Hotel and Theatre, Woodward Photography, Adivasi, BCTV, The Desha Show, Vermont Country Deli, Renaissance Jewelers, and the Putney Inn.
