Lakeshore Advance One reason for the popular- ity of Autumn Indulgence is that it showcases and cele- brates local art.

Teresa Marie has been a big supporter of Autumn Indul- gence, which takes place on Saturday, September 17, at the Huron Country Play- house. Over the years she has contributed many creative and exquisite works of art to the live auction. This year Marie has donated another unique offering, a portrait starring you as the Mona Lisa. Leonardo Da Vin- ci's creation is perhaps the most recognized portrait of all time. Marie has brilliantly reproduced the Mona Lisa so that it's almost indistinguish- able from the original except for one thing.
