🎨 5th Annual Palettes of Waterford Sponsor Spotlight! Humes Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram!

🏡 The Humes Family and their dealership are Waterford icons. They have been
serving Northwest Pennsylvania with exceptional sales and service for 80 years. Happy Anniversary Humes!

It all began with founder Delbert C. Humes, who started out delivering produce from the trunk of his car. This was a dealership where you could buy a tractor...or a car. Today you probably won't see a tractor on their lot, but they now offer full-scale sales, parts, service, used vehicles, and even a paint and collision center.

The Humes legacy spans three generations, with the third generation manning the fort with not only an entrepreneurial spirit but also understanding the importance of community.

Not only are they an important Waterford employer, they also support:💙
✅ School athletic, music, and theater programs
✅ Local fire departments & food pantries
✅ Charities like Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Crime Victims Center of Erie
✅ Countless other programs and we can confirm that the community, through W.E.C.A.N. programs, has been fortunate to benefit from their generosity!

👏 Humes has sponsored the Palettes of Waterford for all five years of its existence and continues to show up for our events and our mission.

🙏 THANK YOU to the entire Humes family and team for everything you do to uplift Waterford and showcase local talent.

💌 Looking for a new vehicle, check them out. Great deals, great people, great vehicles!

Welcome to first-time Palettes of Waterford artist, Marissa Williams, who is a life-long Waterford resident. She has been a nail tech and massage therapist for 20 years and now owns and operates Valley Blossom Spa on Juva Road, after 18 years at Coventina.

Although she is typically working on much smaller “palettes,” her nail clients are always encouraging her to use her artistic ability on their nails. She is inspired by ideas they show her as well as her own creations.

Marissa’s palette, “Flowers” was inspired by the beauty of the flowers she sees around her. She used some creative techniques on her palette including fluid painting techniques, applying paint with a moving chain to produce organic, flowing patterns. Marissa had seen some video clips showing this technique and enjoyed creating it on her own palette. She is hoping her first attempt will encourage others to embrace creativity and discover that beautiful art can be created in many different ways by anyone willing to try.

Thank you, Marissa, for joining the 5th annual Palettes of Waterford and sharing your talent. See Marissa's palette at Jakes on the Park, who feature a number of our artists! Enjoy breakfast and an art show, all at the same time.

5th Annual Palettes of Waterford Sponsor Shoutout to Enlisted Coffee Company, a wonderful addition to our town at 207 High Street.

Built in 1823, this building has served many purposes. From a Civil War Recruitment office for the PA 83rd Regiment, to a dentist office, doctors office, real estate office, and more, it had lost some of its historical significance, until the Kubiak Family had a vision to return this charming building to it's original look, with large front windows, wood siding, and architectural design around the windows and door. Not only did they accomplish their mission, they have won multiple awards for doing so. And the inside is even better!

So we know it looks good, what about their coffee and such? Well, while I am typing this, I am eating one of their delicious cookies with a hot cup of tea. We know people who buy their coffee to go and won't drink anything else. Great food, great vibe, and friendly owners...what more can you ask for? Check out each week's special coffee and if iced coffee is more your thing, they have flavors you never knew existed.

While you are there, check out Palettes of Waterford artist, Beth Weldon’s palette! You will see her palette reflects the history of the early Seneca and other indigenous people from our area. This 3D palette is very unique and you can have an opportunity to buy it at the upcoming Palettes of Waterford Art Auction, Saturday, September 19th, in Gazebo Park.

We are delighted to welcome back for the fourth-year artist and life-long Waterford resident, Beth Weldon. As a creative who loves history, Beth loves to blend tradition with creativity. She credits her friend, Leon Briggs, of the Tonawanda Seneca for all he taught her about the meaning, significance, and art of finger weaving. Every sash takes about 400 hours, and she uses natural dyes on all the wool, which makes her feel connected to weavers of past. Beth also shares her talents as a docent for the Fort LeBoeuf Historical Society at the Soldiers Garden.

This year’s palette, “Return to Creation”, is a striking three-dimensional work inspired by her son, James’, encouragement to “do my weaving”. Combining a painted palette, a tree branch, and a handwoven wool sash, the piece honors an ancient finger-weaving tradition dating back to Neolithic times. Using wool, natural dyes, glass beads, acrylic paint, and traditional weaving techniques, Beth tells the imagined story of a Seneca individual near Fort LeBoeuf in 1753 returning a cherished sash to the forest when its life had come to an end.

Through this work, she invites viewers to reflect on the beauty of impermanence and to appreciate that some of life’s most precious gifts are meant to be treasured for a time before being returned to nature. Stop by theEnlisted Coffee Company to see Beth's palette and enjoy a great cup of coffee.

We love Beth’s creative and unique palette design. Thank you, Beth, for sharing your unique talent with our town and the Palette Project.

🎨5th Annual Palettes of Waterford Featured Artist, Tim Timon
🖌 Artwork Title: Brook Trout
📍 Host: Heritage Chiropractic, 12723 Route 19 South, Waterford, PA,
🎨 Meet the Artist: Talented Tim Timon is back for another year with Palettes of Waterford. Tim is a Waterford/Summit resident and a huge lover of the great outdoors. He has been painting for more than 20 years as a creative way to stay busy in the winter. What began as a hobby has grown into a showcase earning him local awards and recognition for his nature-inspired art.

Tim’s palette this year, “Brook Trout” was painted in oils. He was inspired by his love of fishing. Erie County offers a mix of wild and stocked trout waters, with some of the most productive fishing in Pennsylvania. While the county is famous for steelhead and lake trout, brook trout are also found in certain streams, rivers, and stocked waters. Tim hopes his palette will inspire others to try the sport of fishing.

Thank you, Tim, for sharing your talent and encouraging others to find their own hobbies...be it fishing or painting. Stop and see it in person at Heritage Chiropractic.

🚛🎨 5th Annual 2026 Palettes of Waterford Sponsor Spotlight, Cindy Glover Trucking! As we plan the Palettes Project each year, we always have to be mindful of the fact that we have to limit the the number of artists, so that the Auction won't be too long.

Cindy Glover Trucking, Inc. is one of those businesses. Established in 2001, they have built a reputation for professional, top-quality service.
