Nancy Newhard, who retired recently as the executive director of the Alleghany Highlands Arts & Crafts Center, was honored during a reception held Sunday afternoon (Oct. 27, 2019). Several dozen friends and volunteers - including Bari Ballou, who was the first director of the AHA&CC - attended the event to thank Nancy for her 30 years of service. She will continue to serve as curator and will oversee the artist-in-residence program. (Staff photos for the AlleghanyJournal.com by Judy Moffitt Clark.)
