Community Event #1: "First Friday"

Today my classmate, Sean Ruth, and I picked as our first Community Event for Seminar class to be the Harrisburg "First Friday" Art Exhibit. I've been to these before in Lancaster and the streets were packed with people. This time around, not so much. The first stop we made was at the Whitaker Center with there "Retrospective Art Exhibition". We looked around at some of the artwork displayed and we agreed on which ones we liked by artists Nancy Agati, Janice Radocha, and David Sponseller.

We then walked down 2nd street to try to find another exhibit, until we were commented by a elderly man, who obviously was spending some time near Jack Daniels, who said we had too much weight. Luckily, I calmed myself down from lashing out on him. We then went to the Midtown Scholar Bookstore & Reading Cafe. We saw some interesting pictures taken at oil rigs, and other heavy machinery plants. After looking around the store and trying to find others to talk to, we had no luck. We decided to try another exhibit at the Susquehanna Art Museum, only to find out that it was closed although it said it'd be open 5-8 for the exhibit. I guess they didn't get the memo. After walking around, trying to find another exhibit, we headed back to Harrisburg U. It wasn't a complete loss, as Sean & I gained networking from each other. We know we can help each other later in the future in our careers.
