Exclusively New Albany, version 2010.

Amanda Arnold provides the Tribune account of Thursday’s Exclusively New Albany fete at the home of Mayor and Mrs. England, the highlight of which for me was Guy Tedesco's sculpture.

Mayor England opens house for Develop New Albany event

NEW ALBANY — On Thursday evening, Mayor Doug England and Michelle England welcomed Develop New Albany onto the lawn of their 1837 restored home where art and community came together for the Third Annual Exclusively New Albany. The mix of art and a social gathering complimented this year’s theme of "It Takes a Village."

It was another in a series of brutally hot and humid days, but a big crowd still turned out. There was music ...

... and even ice for the NABC beer samples.

Other personal highlights included the Windsor's rack of lamb, Tommy Kaiser's cigar bar, and the admirable pre-council meeting "beer abstinence" displayed by Matt Lorch.
