I invite you and your friends to ride with us to celebrate together in Concord with other arts enthusiasts and representatives from the city.

I heard that the last town that got this award, (Franklin), had everyone, three buses of people, stand up on the stage. That?s what should happen. It should be everyone that pays taxes, that loves living here. We should be there to receive it - that?s everybody. And we should also be there to acknowledge the state council on the art, it?s been 40 years in this state.

It will be your actions and my actions that will stop the hate on this campus.
