Rocky Point revived

Posted

It was more than 25 years ago that Rhode Island artist Maxwell Mays offered to help the Warwick Family Shelter by donating a painting of Rocky Point Park at the turn of the century. The shelter, which was located in the basement of Norwood Baptist Church, multiplied the gift by making and selling prints of the painting. This year, as the church prepared for its annual bazaar to be held Nov. 20 and 21, Janis Fisher, who ran the shelter for many years, and Joyce Heathcote discovered six of those prints rolled up under a couch. All, including this famed one being displayed by Fisher and Heathcote, will be sold in a silent action at the bazaar. Bazaar hours are 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday at the church and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Santa will be stopping in Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. In addition to the prints, Fisher and Heathcote are planning to have other Rocky Point memorabilia for sale. (Warwick Beacon photo)
