We're really lucky to have such a wonderful organization in our community. Over the holidays, I took you on a tour of The Festival of Wreaths, the biggest event of the arts council each year. The girls here at Elizabeth & Co. participated and we even won an award! The Carroll County Arts Council was started in 1969 by a group of volunteers seeking to make art a part of everyday life here in our community. They are housed in this amazing renovated 1937 movie theatre. There is always something exciting going on here!
This was the 4th annual Peep Show featuring marshmallow masterpieces created by local artists, families, businesses and community groups. Many of the entries were available for sale and you could also purchase chips to vote for your favorites and of course prizes were awarded. So let's check it out!
We live in the Baltimore area, so Todd "Peap" was very popular this year!
I'm surprised I haven't seen a lampshade like this in the blog world.
Or how about this peep sofa?
Ernie's is an establishment located directly across from the Arts Council. If you're a local, you'll get this one titled Friday Night on Main Street. It's not as scary as it looks!
A fan favorite.
There were several entries with Angry Birds. My husband kept asking me what was up with the angry birds. I'll be honest, I had to google it when I got home to find out what all the fuss was about.
This was one was titled Goodtime Country Dance Hall and had amazing details.
Even the simplest entries were so darn cute!
Yes, Justin "Peepers" was very popular.
Peeps At The Beach.
Again, check out the details!
My friend Becca worked on Lady Gaga and the "Peep"arazzi - very cute!
So there you have it, a tour of The Peep Show! And this was just a sample of the fabulous entries. There were several hundred! Maybe you'll be inspired to create some marshmallow madness from all the peeps you find in your Easter basket! What about a fun family activity after Easter dinner? Or perhaps you could create a special peep dessert! These peep smores from Eclectic Recipes really caught my eye. What a yummy way to eat a peep!
Did you know that the family-owned Just Born Candy Company created the first peep in 1953 in Bethlehem, PA? They now produce enough peeps every year to circle the earth twice. Of course they have a website filled with all sorts of peep history, fun facts, trivia, recipes and more.
