Detail of Shoofly painting by Zita Waller. Zita passed away earlier this year, but this painting hangs in the Hancock County Historical Society.
Deadlines loom for two very cool creative competitions. August 15th is the last day to submit artwork for the Shoofly Awareness Campaign art competition, while September 10th is the deadline for a one-act play competition sponsored by the Bay St. Louis Little Theatre.
Here at the Shoofly Magazine, we're sponsoring a cool art contest to help publicize our name change from the Fourth Ward Cleaver (which started as a neighborhood online newsletter) to the Shoofly, after the Bay St. Louis landmark. ​
