Jay Gross, Frances McLeod, and friends displayed their photographs at Uptown Center in Sumter, SC.
 
 
This is Frances, showing off the Sumter Item newspaper.   Second-front coverage in the newspaper's weekend section.  Can you beat that!

The show was hosted by Uptown Deli and Cafe, 106 N. Main St.

 These are some snaps from the artists' reception which included a poetry reading, live jazz, and food, food, food.
  Lots of people came over, braving a festive storm that applauded the poets thunderously.
