‘Tis the Season

ith our fall weather upon us and the holiday season fast approaching, we
Jodi Tanner welcome the cooler air and, of course, the better hair that it brings! And, as
Vice President
Las Olas Association Walways, excitement for the holidays is gearing up on and around Las Olas!
In October, we had the 36th Annual Las Olas Art Fair. The free event brought in
thousands of people, art lovers, enthusiasts and many more who were just enjoying
strolling the boulevard in the cool air. Over 180 artists displayed their paintings,
sculptures, drawings, photography, jewelry, apparel, artisan wares and more. Many
OFFICERS beautiful pieces of art were ogled and purchased, and many other connections were
made. As we closed out October, we were ‘tricked and treated’ to a spooktacular
Luke Moorman Halloween night on the boulevard, with ghouls and goblins galore celebrating on Las
President
Olas. It was a sight to behold!
Jodi Jeffreys-Tanner Next up are the main events! Two iconic Fort Lauderdale holiday traditions on our
Vice President
amazing holiday agenda. First up is our Las Olas Association’s 61st Annual Christmas
Dave Bell on Las Olas on Tuesday, November 28th. This magical holiday event, when we transform
Secretary Las Olas Boulevard into an urban winter wonderland, has become Fort Lauderdale’s
Caroline Carrara traditional kick-off of the holiday season. COLO will once again attract tens of thousands
Treasurer of people to Las Olas from near and far to celebrate the magic of the holidays and
Christmastime. We’ll tell you more about COLO 2023 on the following pages!

DIRECTORS center stage on Saturday, December 16th, from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. This world-famous
Genia Duncan Ellis H2O extravaganza begins on the New River in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale
