PENNSBURY – Despite a day filled will slush and snow, and many surrounding schools cancelling their activities; Chadds Ford Elementary was abuzz with excitement and a great crowd Friday night who came out to enthusiastically support the 66th annual Art Show and Sale.

Today, the Show features more than seventy local artists, family friendly special events, a kids’ cafe, guest speakers, tours and its latest addition, ‘The Salon’ – a small, intimate gallery of more contemporary and mixed medium works.
