Local Artists Bring Color Again to the Streets of Middleburg...

· From pages 16, 17 of the print edition

Watch out they are coming back...the amazing foxes are soon to be back in town. This will be Middleburg Garden Clubs second time of doing this exciting fund raiser that's done every other year. Foxes on the Fence is a wonderful collaboration between local businesses, schools, and talented local artists who donate their time to this project. This year they have had added four more foxes to the pack and even added several Hounds. Many of the sponsors have worked closely with their artist to creative an interesting and unique fox. Artist Barbara Sharp knew instantly she wanted to do a hound. Inspector Highcliffe Hound was the vision of Mark Metzger who owns Highcliffe Clothiers and he had several challenges for her. "I think he needs a vest oh and maybe a hat" Mark asked of her. "I wasn't quite sure how I was going to pull this together, but I love the way he looks" said Barbara. Some of the female foxes new this year are very eye catching. Coco Fox, a creation of Liz Miller who owns Mystique Jewelers and artist Kerry Waters, has jewlery and ooh la la! All the Foxes and Hounds will be back up on the iron fence by March 31 for the official launch picnic. The entire brochure may be found around town soon and in the center of the Middleburg Eccentric March issue. The online bidding will run April 1-May 15.
