\u201cSound of Music\u201d fans won\u2019t remember Maria von Trapp singing in the hills with a red Solo cup in hand in the original movie, but according to local artist Shannon Foley Henn, that\u2019s definitely how she would enjoy High Note Thursdays in Winter Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course the Solo cup because that\u2019s a staple at High Note,\u201d Henn laughed.<\/p>\n

For the second year in a row, Henn partnered with the Winter Park & Fraser Chamber of Commerce to create posters for the town\u2019s summer event series, which kicks off this Thursday in Hideaway Park.<\/p>\n

This year Henn was inspired to create something completely different from what she did the year before, so she turned to movies to infuse some campy humor into the event posters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a lot of my paintings I like working in a bit of pop culture and there\u2019s nothing more pop culture than famous, iconic movies,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen we were picking the movies, we were looking for movies that would resonate with a lot of different generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The movies featured are \u201cThe Sound of Music,\u201d \u201cBreakfast at Tiffany\u2019s,\u201d \u201cJurassic Park,\u201d \u201cWinnie the Pooh,\u201d \u201cIndiana Jones,\u201d \u201cWonder Woman,\u201d \u201cE.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial,\u201d \u201cFlashdance,\u201d \u201cForrest Gump,\u201d \u201cStar Wars\u201d and \u201cNacho Libre.\u201d<\/p>\n

The summer event series includes High Note Thursdays, Fitness in the Park, Switchback Music Festival, Rendezvous Run for Independence, the town\u2019s Fourth of July celebration, Winter Park Uncorked, Tequila and Tacos, the Jazz Festival, the Solshine Festival, Country in the Park and FallFest.<\/p>\n

Each poster also references local landmarks, such as Berthoud Pass, Winter Park Resort, the Rendezvous Event Center and Parry\u2019s Peak, as well as Henn\u2019s own artwork.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big thing for me is not only do I want to paint with a smile on my face, I want people to look at them and have a smile on their face,\u201d she said. \u201cMy pieces are really pop and fun and whimsical and colorful and it all culminated into these movie posters.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original canvas paintings will be available to purchase at auction through the mobile app Handbid until Aug. 25. Each painting starts at $350 and funds will go to the continuation of the summer event series, with the exception of the Winter Park Uncorked poster, which will go to the Grand Foundation\u2019s G.A.P fund, and the FallFest poster, which will go to the Grand Kids Learning Center.<\/p>\n

A limited number of each painting will also be printed as posters, which will be sold at the event, as well as at Henn\u2019s store, Uptripping, and the Winter Park Visitor\u2019s Center.<\/p>\n
