Not only did Sikeston native Anna Catherine DeHart dazzle a sold-out crowd at the Tinnin Center in Poplar Bluff recently, she also walked away with $1,000.

DeHart was the grand prize winner in the “Show Me Whatcha Got” talent show. 

“Anna Catherine performed like there was no tomorrow,” said Mitch Davis, the show’s creator and a member of its judging panel.  “It was a great competition and we’re looking forward to seeing where her career takes her.”

The third annual Art for Animals event ended on a high note April 26 at the Artfully Framed gallery.  Six winners were named and about $4,000 was raised for the Animal Welfare Alliance (AWA).

A $100 prize for the painting garnering the highest bid went to jewelry store owner Steve Whitworth for his painting of the old MOPAC/Amtrak station in Poplar Bluff.  The painting sold for $150.

Because of the increased chance of rain, tonight’s Art and Stroll in downtown Paragould has been rescheduled for Thursday, May 9.

The extension means five more artists have committed to the show.  Among those expected to display their artworks are students from Paragould Jr. High, Black River, Greene County Tech and the NEA Home School Association. 

According to an email from Gina Jarrett of Main Street Paragould, many artists are new to A&S this year, including Memphis artist Billy Moore and his folk artworks.
