The Inaugural Ball Exhibit last Tuesday night drew hundreds of happy citizens to the Sandusky building to celebrate Barack Obama’s inauguration. Festivities began early that evening and lasted into the night with happy revelers migrating between various parties around town. Many of the guests wore ball gowns, tuxedos, or other interesting party outfits assembled for this special occasion.

The upstairs of the Sandusky building was transformed into an exciting art venue, with rooms filled with
Jimmy Descant’s assemblages,
Susan Mayfield’s paintings, a video room put together by
Matthew Clark who ran an endless loop of President Obama’s Inauguration and wonderful food artfully displayed and generously donated by Michelle Gapp. The positive energy flowed throughout the evening, and the combination of art, food, music, and the promise of a new era created an electric atmosphere of goodwill and fun for all.
