MSU BOWL-A-THON 8 AM – Fain Fine Arts, C119 - In preparation for Empty Bowls of Wichita Falls, which raises funds for the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank, the Ceramics Department at Midwestern State University will host a day of bowl making. More than 1,000 bowls have been made each year for the past two years during the summer Bowl-A-Thon event. Empty Bowls is the premier fundraiser for the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank, which uses the money to buy food for the greater Wichita Falls area. In 2012 the event raised $65,000 and the 2014 event brought in more than $85,000 – enough to furnish approximately 500,000 meals for those in the area that might otherwise go hungry. This year’s Empty Bowls event will be held Oct. 21. Associate Professor of Art Steve Hilton said that the goal of Saturday’s Bowl-A-Thon was to make and trim at least 500 bowls. Lunch will be furnished. Call Hilton at 940-613-7041 for more information or to confirm attendance. Experience with ceramics would be helpful but those with no experience are welcome also.
