A Taste of Soup and Art Exhibit began 2007 with a dual purpose. The first was and still is to raise funds to help with purchases for the Carrollton North Carrollton Library. The Friends of the Carrollton-North Carrollton Library [FoL] based this fundraiser on one in Arkansas and added the art exhibit to recognize some of the many talented people in Carroll County. Some of the artists will have items for sale and others will not.
A Taste of Soup and Art Exhibit has been very successful, allowing us to purchase everything from books to racks to hold books on tape or CD to landscaping for the library. We also help with the different activities, such as the summer reading program and book signings for local authors.
Although we always provide a platter “tray” to carry the soup cups on, we encourage people to bring their own regular size muffin tins to set the cups of soup in for steadier tray. A tin for a dozen muffins will also have space for the cornbread, crackers and drink, but a tray of six works ok.
A number of door prizes will again be given away. However, this year instead of drawing tickets, answers to trivia questions about Mississippi will be the way to win prizes. So look up Mississippi Trivia before you come and pay attention to the posters and table decorations so you too can win a door prize.
Tickets are sold at the Carrollton-North Carrollton Library and by Friends of the Library. Most of the tickets are sold before the event because we have limited seating, but they may be available at the door this year. Tickets are $10 and include the annual recipe book.
