Everyone had a fantastic time at the Spring Fling and Painting Festival, held on March 16, 2010, at the University Area Community Center. The event was also a St. Patrick's Day party, featuring "green beer" (ginger ale floats), a bagpiper band, and musical entertainment by Grammy Award-winning Celtic band, Juniper. It was an intergenerational affair, with students from Bowers Whitley Culinary Program who helped serve meals. Patricia Barnhart won Best of Show for her painting titled "Winter Color".
