Bobbleheads are a kind of art. Aren't they?



Best-selling novelist Nora Roberts—who is a resident of Washington County and reliably generous supporter of the arts council—was honored this week when the Hagerstown Suns unveiled a new bobblehead in her likeness. At the news conference (hosted by our Convention & Visitors Bureau president Tom Riford) Miss Roberts claimed that the bobblehead was a sign that she’s finally made it, and that she will be the envy of all her writer friends. This from a woman who has been on the NYT best-seller list for years and who has sold nearly 300 million copies of her books. Be one of the first thousand fans at Municipal Stadium on July 6 and you’ll receive your own little Nora. Embiggen to see grown adults bust out laughing.

I remember wanting to go to Lou Scally night just to get the bobblehead, but I had to work that entire weekend. I even bid on one on eBay, but it went too high for my wallet. :(

It seems like the convention and visitors bureau people constantly do great things in washington county. the last guy who had the job didn't do much at all...
