 Here is Mr. Jim Kent, demonstrating for TV! Miss Jimmie Kent wrote about this photo:"We were called by some elected officials to help promote Onslow Tourisum. So we set up a small display of our baskets, and Jim and the kids who were visiting did a demo. There were several stations here and the COUNTRY ROVER, Alan Coventry. They were very impressed that all of our kids and their children weave baskets and help in some way in our studio. The children helping Jim during the interview were Abbey & Tyler Kent (brother & sister) and Jeremy Kent, their cousin. They were so excited about being on TV with 'Pa' - it was alot of fun.
The reporter will come back and do a more detailed program later on." Anyone see them on TV?

Some lucky NCBA members were able to escape the mid-June jungle temperatures of North Carolina by heading to the beautiful hills of Kentucky to attend the
9th Annual Bluegrass Area Basketmakers' Seminar.
Accommodations at the Kentucky Leadership Center in Jabez were excellent, and absolutely no one went hungry. It was fun, relaxing, and, according to the weavers, just the right size.
At right, just a few members of the Bluegrass Area Basketmakers who pulled
this event off: Nancy Lake, Carolyn Poe, Betty Overly Mary Willis, and
Mable Benge.

The more you bead, the blinder (but happier) you get. Just ask Bonnie Kuhr, Mary Wiss and Wanda Borelli, along with their instructor, Brenda Traffis.

It takes three to make to make this basket: Patti Hawkins to teach it, Lisa Reid to weave it, and Miss Jimmie to kibbitz!

Betty Curry came from Missouri with 10,000 of her incomparable white oak
baskets and left with minus ten!

Charlotte Haney, Karen Galloway, Carol Oughten, and Tracy Day enjoy rocking and weaving between classes.

Mavis Fairchild and Betti Edwards still look chipper enough, but Eleanor Bennett has a definite last-day look about her. |
It's a dead heat between Jolin Coffey and her Patti Hawkins basket as the seminar approaches the finish line.
