Halloween Boo-Tique
When: Saturday October 5th 4pm-8pm
Where: Jeanine Taylor Folk Art 211 E 1st St. Sanford, FL 32771
What: Jeanine Taylor Folk Art invites the public to a celebration of art and Halloween!
Jeanine Taylor’s Halloween Boo-Tique will begin promptly at 4pm on October 5th. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to get their choice pick of art before the crowds take hold. A sampling seasonal of hors d’oeuvres and signature cocktails hand selected by Jeanine Taylor will be complimentary to attendees.
Few among the artists in Jeanine Taylor’s orbit turn out the haunts like those featured in her upcoming Halloween Boo-tique. The artist roster will feature likes of Melissa Menzer, Darlene Allen, Kerry Schmidt and Anthony Pack. Each artist possesses an undying thirst for all things strange and unusual!
MELISSA MENZER:
For Melissa Menzer there is no better muse than vintage sepia toned photographs of long forgotten relatives found in the bargain bins of Florida’s roadside flea markets. Her wry quirk can be attributed to her parents who were artists and antique dealers in the Washington DC area. Menzer utilizes varied materials from cabinet card photographs to vintage silverware. Orlando culture seekers may remember Menzer’s featured bejeweled birds at the Mennello Museum of Art under Frank Holt’s reign.
DARLENE ALLEN:
Darlene Allen possesses a love for Jim Henson, misfit toys and mohair. Her title as a Master Bearmaker is well earned and very apparent. Allen’s mohair creatures are tediously assembled with masterful hand stitching and given a mischievous grimace.
KERRY SCHMIDT:
Felted oddities of the ghoulish persuasion come to life by the hands of California based artist, Kerry Schmidt. The eye-popping characters in Schmidt’s arsenal include hard-nosed crows, snarling French Bulldogs, grinning bats and a few vegetables with an attitude. Her work has been featured in multiple magazines and collected far and wide.
ANTHONY PACK:
Anthony Pack’s multimedia upcycled assemblages round off this Halloween Boo-tique quartet. His famous suited devils made of wood scraps and book covers have a wide appeal. It is common for his creatures to wear a startled expression across their mug.
Admission: Free to Attend

Then, in 2012, he opened Sanford Homebrew Shop in Magnolia Square and focused on that. A few years later and Gary has the time to do Ghost Tours again, and he has a shop in Downtown Sanford to host it from! Make sure you visit both the Facebook page and the ticket

What: Washington, D.C., is thrown into a panic when an extraterrestrial spacecraft lands near the White House. Out steps Klaatu, a soft-spoken interplanetary traveler, and his laser spewing robot bodyguard, Gort. An overzealous soldier wounds Klaatu. Klaatu announces he has a message of the gravest importance for all humankind, which he will deliver only when the leaders of all nations agree to meet with him. Given world politics in 1951, Klaatu’s demands are denied and he is ordered to remain in the hospital. Klaatu escapes, taking refuge in a boarding house, where he poses as Mr. Carpenter (one of many parallels between Klaatu and Christ). He gains the confidence of a widow and her son, Bobby. Klaatu seeks “the smartest man in the world”, a Dr. Barnhardt. Then, at 12 o’clock, Klaatu causes the world to “stand still” — he shuts down all electrical power worldwide, with the exception of essentials like hospitals and planes in flight.
Admission: $5, cash at door.
