(Forney) Join Crumbzz and the Forney Arts Council from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28 as they host a grand opening celebration for the Crumbzz Tasting Pavilion and Gallery of the Arts in Downtown Forney.
The tasting pavilion and art room will be the first brick in Forney’s downtown restoration plans. Kim Buttram, executive director of the Forney Economic Development Corporation, calls it “the beginning of the new Downtown Forney.”
“The plan is to bring a ‘Main Street Approach’ to Downtown Forney by strengthening the mix of businesses while preserving the unique historic characteristics. The eventual result will be a pedestrian friendly downtown with more promotions and entertainment to bring people and business to the town center,” Buttram said.
J. Stephen Sadler chose Forney to open the first Crumbzz Tasting Pavilion in the United States. Sadler is the chef of world class artisan cakes from 400-year-old Austrian family recipes that are found in five star hotels and restaurants across the country.
“We want to provide Forney with exquisite foods, but also an experience,” Sadler said. “Crumbzz will offer new and exciting foods available only at the Forney Tasting Pavilion – like lemon ricotta pancakes, Liege waffles and gruyere egg soufflé, paired with world renowned coffees and teas.”
The Forney Arts Council, a diverse band of Forney residents, is intent on creating an arts movement in Forney. In the new Gallery of the Arts shared with Crumbzz, Forney will be able to enjoy visual arts, music, theater, dance and culinary arts.
“Art provides people with an opportunity for self expression, creating and celebrating life. The Gallery of the Arts will give people a great reason to come downtown,” said Robert Dobbs, president of the Forney Arts Council.
Sadler added, “Our tasting pavilion and art gallery is a space where people can share each other’s company while dining on artisan offerings amid local art and music in a wonderful atmosphere.”
The Crumbzz Tasting Pavilion/Gallery of the Arts is located at 212 South Bois D’ Arc Street
Forney, TX 75126.
