'Love the Arts' at Hanes Mall next Saturday and Sunday The third annuaJ ''Love the Arts Festival" will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 3 and 4, at Hanes Mall. This "festival" marks the annual kick-off of the United Arts Fund Drive while providing an opportunity for area artists, crafts men and arts and cultural organiza tions to showcase their "wares." At noon on Saturday, the whole weekend starts off with a bang! The opening ceremony is a little bit of Broadway (well, the next best thing for Winston-Salem). For about 30 minutes, characters sing and dance their way into your hearts. Then the real fun begins. Like a three-ring circus, performances are scheduled throughout the weekend at center- stage („enter court), Penney's stage (the small court on the lower level at JC Penney's) and the Sears stage (the small court on the lower level at Sears). For those of you who followed last year's Evenings in the Neigh borhood performances, one of the top favorites will be performing at the mall: "The Phase Band," a local lop 40 group of young local talent who can give some of the top enter tainment acts a run for their money. Reminiscent of groups like "Atlantic Stair," "The Phase Band" promises to be as entertaining with their music as with their choreogra phy. Those of you who may be interested in creative dance will be "Black Countty." One of Winston's interested in seeing the Winston- home grown vocal talents, "Black ArtsReach By REGGIE JOHNSON Salem State University Dance Ensemble as well as the little ones from the Urban Arts Art-Is dance class. An interesting act for all of you who may not have seen her is Country" delivers renditions of gospel music with a twist. Then, there's also the drama class of Urban Arts' Art-Is program. And, speaking of drama, known for con tinuing a tradition in African-Amer ican heritage is the Tarheel Associa tion of Storytellers. A custom of our African tribes, storytelling was our ancestors' way of keeping history alive! Come watch these talented storytellers weave their magic spell. Sound like action-packed fun? There's still more. On Sunday, the dynamic Winston-Salem State Uni versity Choir will belt out a few arrangements of Negro spirituals. They will be followed by the ever- popular Ambassadors of Christ Choir, directed by the nationally known David Allen. Later on Sunday you will be treated to the sound of another pop ular local group.

Thanksgiving and Christmas won't be the same this year. Someone will be missing, from the holiday cheer. She lived a long life of service, to God, family, and friends. But like all good things must leave. However, her space will be there. Our memories can't part... With the true golden treasure, of Mama Sadie in our hearts.
