Fun with cigar boxes at Hunt

FALLS VILLAGE — A whacking big crowd showed up for “Cigar Box Tradition Redux,” a show of art created using the cigar box as a basis, at the David M. Hunt Library Saturday, Aug. 31.

Noah Sher, decked out in Groucho Marx glasses, circulated in the crowd, offering chocolate-tipped pretzels from a cigar box.(The late Groucho Marx was a noted cigar smoker.)

Vance Cannon swapped his standard guitar for one of David Reed’s cigar box guitars.

Cannon, acting on a recommendation from the artist, tuned the three-string electric instrument to GDG, and commenced to improvise blues licks using a copper slide.

The show runs through September 20, and organizer Lilly Woodworth is holding a cigar box collage workshop this Saturday, Sept. 7, 10 a.m. to noon.
