CRAFTS SHOW - About 40 crafters will show their wares on High Street Downtown from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 7.
The non-profit Fall Fest was organized by Jean Piedmont, owner of Olde Towne Folk Art in Prison Square.
``The goal is to bring more people Downtown to see what we have in Portsmouth,'' Piedmont said.
The craft show will be on the sidewalk between Dinwiddie and Court streets beneath the canopy of the old Colony Theater and at Prison Square.
SUE LANDERMAN, Portsmouth sculptor whose carved brick creations are getting notice around the world, has set up shop again at Prison Square.
Landerman is displaying large and small stone sculpture as well as samples of her brick creations.
MISS PITTYPAT'S FLOWER AND GIFT SHOP at the corner of High and Dinwiddie streets is expanding its scope.
Pat Morris, an owner of the shop, said art and crafts by local artists will be displayed for sale.
``We'll have mixed media, stained glass, watercolors and a variety of crafts by local artisans,'' Morris said. She added that since art is a big thrust of Downtown renaissance, she believes that people will enjoy seeing it at many locations.
TEDDY BEAR DAY CARE, corner of Greenwood Drive and Cavalier Boulevard, will celebrate with a grand opening ceremony today at 10 a.m.
Grand opening activities, open to the public, will continue from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
The center is owned by Sandra Pinnock, the school's director, and her husband, Theodore Pinnock. The couple purchased the building with help of a small business loan acquired with assistance from the city's Department of Economic Development.
PHILIP BRODIE FURNITURE CO., a fixture in the 800 block of High Street, has been acquired by Meyers and Tabakin, a furniture business with stores in Norfolk, Virginia Beach and the Eastern Shore.
Gary Tabakin manages the group. Members of the family of the late Phil Brodie still are involved with the operation here.
The name of the High Street store will be changed in October and the store will be redesigned to more closely resemble other Meyers and Tabakin outlets. by CNB
