A past-president and current board member of the Crooked Creek Art
League, Karen Larrabee moved to Chapin
13 years ago and feels blessed by the move.
|
|
Karen was born and raised in northern
NJ and loved to draw and paint since “forever, it seems”.
Her awards began in high school where she had a wonderful and encouraging art program. Marietta College, a small, liberal arts school in Marietta, Ohio, lured her to the Midwest. She received a B.A. in art and education and eventually a Master’s
of Liberal learning, (yes, a MA.L.L. degree!) with concentrations in studio art, art history and art education, where her awards continued.
While in Ohio, she married, raised a family and taught art for 30 years until her retirement in 2004, continuing to grow her resume. After her daughter transferred to USC, Karen and her husband, David,
fell in love with the Midlands.
The rest, as they say, “is history”.
So far in SC she has been become a Member of Excellence in the South Carolina Watermedia Society. She has been juried into the Greenwood Arts Festival, the Union Exhibit and the State Fair competition every year she has entered, receiving Patron Purchase Awards at the fair in 2009, 2011 and 2014 and a Merit award in 2017.
She has also won 11 awards from the Crooked Creek Art League’s Juried Exhibitions including the Member's Choice Award in 2014 and First Place Master's
in 2019. Karen says, “I like to define myself as a free-style artist as I love all things creative. I have continuously been exposed to, and engaged in many media and styles and enjoy the freedom to be creative and experiment artistically."

National Food Day focuses on healthy
and nutritious food.
The observance takes place annually
on October 24th.
One of the themes of the day aims to help people to “Eat Real.” This theme is
defined by “cutting back on sugar drinks, overly salted packaged foods and fatty, factory-farmed meats in favor of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and sustainably raised protein.”
|
|
The observance involves some of the country’s most prominent food activists. Their vision includes food that can be healthy, affordable and produced.
At the same time, the goal is to produce food with care for the environment, farm animals and the people who grow, harvest and serve it in mind.
The movement seeks a balance between nutrition, affordability and the environment. They strive to meet these goals by consistently addressing policy.
In 2012, there were 3,200 events taking place from community festivals to a national conference in Washington, D.C.
to thousands of school activities.

Each year on October 24th, people across the nation make a sandwich to take part in National Bologna Day.
This would be a good day to have a bologna sandwich for lunch.
Sometimes this specialty meat is spelled baloney since that’s how it is pronounced. However, the more common spelling is Bologna. That’s because it originated in
the city of Bologna, Italy.
It’s a type of sausage and is similar to
the Italian mortadella.
The finely ground pork or beef sausage is smoked and cured.
Sometimes the sausage is a combination of both pork and beef.
|
|
In Italy, bologna includes a variety of spices not found in American bologna.
In fact, in the United States, regulations require American bologna to be finely ground and without visible pieces of lard.
It hardly resembles anything found in Italy. It can also be made from chicken, turkey, venison or soy protein.
Many people enjoy bologna sandwiches with a variety of garnishes.
Some of those include mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomato, and onion.
Bologna Bowl – When a slice of bologna is heated, the fat renders and the round slice takes the shape of a bowl which may be filled with cheese or other fillings.
There is a variety of different types of bologna:
- German Bologna
- Kosher or halal bologna
- Lebanon bologna
- Lauantaimakkara
- Rag bologna
- South African polony
- Vegetarian

United Nations Day recognizes the founding of the United Nations in 1945. They celebration is observed annually
on October 24th.
U.N. Day has traditionally been marked throughout the world by meetings, discussions, and exhibits about the achievements and goals of the organization.

The United Nations works for the entire human family of seven billion people and cares for the Earth, our one and only home. ~ Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
Today the United Nations consists of 193 member states and 2 observer states. The mission of the United Nation is to maintain international peace and security.
The UN also sets terms for protecting human rights around the world. In 1948, they created international law with a Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The member nations deliver humanitarian aid to populations in crisis. The first aid delivered was an immediate response to the devastation following World War II.
Another aim of the international organizations is promoting sustainable development.
