Paint for Fun is a plaster art studio, similar to ceramics - except there is no firing, and you take it home the same day. Paint for Fun is open 7 days a week and WALK-INS are ALWAYS welcome.

Paint for Fun is owned and operated by Patti Spinelli, retired Art teacher from St. Mary Academy in Dover, NH. With over 30 years teaching experience she feels she has an understanding of what children and adults want. In the studio they are free to be themselves. In the art class lessons, they are free to be themselves...just with a little more guidance.

Paint for fun provides a relaxing and safe atmosphere for customers. You come into the shop, pick an item, paint it and take it home the same day! The price you pay (starting as low as $3.00) includes eveything: item-brushes-numerous colors of paint, an apron, and a space to paint as long as you need to stay. If you have chosen a larger item, you can leave it here, come back and finish it at no extra cost.

The Somersworth High School Interact Club and Somersworth Youth Connection (SYC) are hosting "Spirit Up Somersworth" community-wide cleanup day in celebration of Earth Day, on April 17 (with a rain date of April 24), from 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

Organizers hope to raise awareness of the environment and get as many city leaders, businesses, community organizations, youth groups, school organizations and families to celebrate Earth Day and beautify the community.

The goal is to challenge Somersworth to have 1,000 people participate in cleaning up their community in designated areas, or in their own neighborhoods.

"Spirit Up Somersworth" kicks off in the parking lot at Somersworth Middle School on Saturday morning, April 17 between 8:00-8:30. Sign in with your group and pick up supplies. Participants will then head off to a designated area of the community to make them sparkle. Trash bags and gloves will be provided; garden tools are limited, so please bring your own rake.

Also included in the days event will be raffle prizes, food, music, vendors, displays and great company.

These photos were taken today while I was on my way to Kittery Maine.  They did their job, they made me turn and look.  Not sure what the first sign was trying to do, get people upset, or get the business more customers?  The second sign was pretty obvious.  Finding it a little humorous especially on a day like today, the fact that the pool company got me to stop and take a photo proves that the signage is doing it's job.

I hope that if you use signage for your business you use it to your advantage and attract more business.  We may not all agree with what is happening in the political world, but I for one would not be the type of person that would make that statement on my business sign!
