Despite being originally rescheduled due to a looming threat of thunderstorms, the Women’s Club of Farmingdale pulled off their annual Art in the Park celebration at the Village Green, in conjunction with the ongoing Village Columbus Day Street Fair.
Bob Westfall, the event’s guest artist donated a special painting that was raffled off to a winner in the community. The proceeds of the raffle went toward the Women’s Club of Farmingdale scholarship fund for students in the Farmingdale School District.
Westfall has said of the painting that it reminds him of a Gristmill he once saw upstate, in Gardiner. This painting is filled with detail and warmth.
This year, Jean Stuart, a graduate of Farmingdale High School, won the painting by Westfall. She is the daughter of Katie McKeevney and the late Bob McKeevney, residents of Farmingdale for 48 years.
