KIFA’s Got Talent, a fund raising event matching community leaders and professional artists, resulted in a random pairing of Queen Anne’s County Sheriff Gary Hofmann and KIFA member and clay artist Carole Cascio. During one of their many working sessions, the sheriff described to Carole a childhood experience with throwing clay that resulted in a lifelong fascination with how pots were created. Sheriff Hofmann’s finished pieces, along with seven other guest artist’s’ finished art work, will be auctioned at KIFA’s annual holiday party and fund raiser at Kentmorr Restaurant on Friday, December 2, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. The evening’s festivities will also include music, food, a silent auction and a cash bar. Tickets must be purchased in advance either online at www.kifa.us or by calling 410-643-7424. $35 per person/ $60 per couple
