Drawing & Speaking at 175th Anniversary of Marion County.
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Mar.30, 2019, under What's New?
Busy day for me, and so many others who volunteered, at the Marion County’s 175th anniversary celebration. I’m exhausted!
I was floored by the number of people I knew at the event covering a three areas I’m active in: History, environment and politics. It was great to cross introduce folks.
I was part of the North Marion County History area. There I work on an illustration of Marion County history using no pencils and working mostly with brushes. I only did two individual drawings for a couple of children there. Later I was the last of a series of speakers of local history.
Descriptions with each photo. More photos over at my Swampy’s Florida.
Friend Linda Ellwood manned the Fort McCoy booth and spoke to many of the history of the area. Just noticed Jack Owen “photo bombed” in the background! Later he and I filmed a promo video for the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair coming up at the end of April. 
One of the drawings i did for two children at the event. 
Mini parades occurred throughout the day. 
Here is just one of many meetings of folks from various points in my active life. It’s Cindy and Art Mulvey (I’m involved with both involving politics) and Kathy Bailey (Kathy and I are involved with Silver Springs State Park) 
Al Kunz is a vessel of fascinating tales of his travels statewide for the citrus industry.I was to speak after him,but encouraged his speaking on. 
Here am I after speaking with the person who spearheaded the event, Judy Delk. Here is also the illustration i worked one during the day. I’ll finish and post Sunday.
