Finocchi wins Farmers' Market logo contest Betsy Finocchi of Fayetteville is the winner of the 2008 Fayetteville Farmers'Market logo contest. Her design was selected for its embodiment of the market. Finocchi published All About Town, a local entertainment newspaper, for several years before stopping publication in 2005. She is currently completing her second year at the University of Arkansas School of Law and is employed with the Law Office of Gail T. Segers. Though she said she entered the Farmers'Market contest on a lark, Finocchi has previous experience designing posters for concerts and festivals, including the logo for the upcoming Dickson Street Music Festival and CD artwork for "Fej and Friends," to be released this month.
The Fayetteville Farmers' Market begins Saturday and is open from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at the Fayetteville Square and from 4-7 p.m. Tuesdays at the Mill District Market on the corner of South College Avenue and Sixth Street. Chi Omega Founder's Day set for Saturday The women of the Psi Chapter of Chi Omega at the University of Arkansas will celebrate Founder's Day at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Chi Omega House, 940 Maple St. in Fayetteville. The day will begin with hors d'oeuvres and a silent auction with proceeds going to the sorority's philanthropy, Make-A-Wish Foundation, to enable the chapter to grant a second wish this year. At 1: 30 p.m. the women will join the men of Kappa Sigma Fraternity for a ceremony at the Chi Omega Greek Theatre to hear from several founder's day guest speakers. The day will conclude with a special Chi Omega ritual ceremony at the house for members and alumni only.
Chi Omega Sorority was founded by Jobelle Holcombe and Dr. Charles Richardson of Kappa Sigma in 1895 on the UA campus. The House is a historic landmark in Fayetteville and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Chi Omega is now the largest women's fraternity in the United States.
