I wondered why a collection of antique boat motors made the boutique room of Tempting Tables, where an astounding array of silk Hermes scarfs awaited purchase. I am guessing these motors, functional sculptures from circa 1910, came from the collection of Ray Hilt. He's the downtown Muskegon dentist who has worked with volunteers to preserve the Milwaukee Clipper, which arrived in Lake Muskegon to stay in the 1970s. I dropped by the Tempting Tables exhibition at the newly renewed Holiday Inn of Muskegon Harbor, and the charitable preview was wrapping up and a lecture by a Detroit cancer researcher was about to begin. I'll come back to look at the clever table settings in a day or so, after the big soiree tonight, honoring those in the fight's front line. I am looking forward to seeing the decorative sculptures created out of ostrich eggs. Along the main hallway, more than a score artists have interpreted the cancer fighting message by creating decorative brassieres, only one of which is pictured here. Most of these artists are new names to me.
