Stuart Evans has been inducted into the Second Wind Hall of Fame and received her certificate at the February Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) Board meeting from Judy Warden, SWHF Board member and former TFAC President.

Many former TFAC Board members and close friends were invited to attend this honor for Stuart and a reception was held in her honor following the certificate presentation.

TFAC was thrilled to sponsor Stuart for all her tireless volunteering on their behalf as the treasurer for many years and recently as vice president of development including special events.

Stuart initiated the Art In Bloom garden tours, bringing in garden vendors from all over the Carolinas to raise money for pocket parks to be created in the Tryon, Landrum and Columbus communities.

She also provided her own garden to be on the tour last year. Stuart organized the Po’ Kitty fundraiser held at TFAC to benefit the Foothills Humane Society (FHS) for several years and is an active foster family for many kitty litters for FHS.
