question:Generate response to the question/instruction based on a piece of given material Question/Instruction: What is the October 20th Scarecrow and Cocoa Festival? Can vendors participate? Given material: In the front hall of the Leffingwell House Museum is a large oil portrait of Mrs. Ruth Webster Perit Leffingwell. The name of the artist has always been treated as secondary to the subject of the painting being the third Mrs. Christopher Leffingwell. Mrs. Leffingwell was a lady in her own right. John and Ruth Webster Perit lived in Scotland, Connecticut. John Webster Perit was born in 1783 and the records indicate that his sister Mary was born the same year, so if the dates are right they were twins. Their brother Peletian Perit was born in 1785. (A curious note is that this brother, Peletian, married Rebecca’s husband’s sister, Jerusha Lathrop making her brother also her brother-in-law.) Rebecca Hunt Perit was born July 31, 1789. Rebecca’s mother was 34 when Rebecca was born. John Perit was 52 when he died. In 1799 Ruth married Col. Christopher Leffingwell a widower twice over with children of his own. Bass Otis (July 17, 1784 - November 3, 1861), was an early American artist, inventor, and portrait painter. He painted hundreds of portraits including many of the best known Americans of his day, and produced the first American lithograph in 1819. Otis was born in East Bridgewater, Massachusetts, the son of Josiah Otis, a physician, and Susanna Orr. As a youth, he may have been apprenticed to a scythe maker, perhaps to a relative. Later he worked as a coach painter, then studied with Gilbert Stuart in Boston about 1805-1808. It may have been during this period that the portrait in the museum was painted. Perhaps it was to be a lasting tribute of a groom to his bride or perhaps it was a gift of the bride to her new husband. Perhaps the portrait was payment for a few nights rest and good meals in the Leffingwell Inn as Otis was moving to New York City, to work as an assistant to painter John Wesley Jarvis. When he moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1812, his painting career flourished. He was elected to the Society of Artists of the United States in 1812, and eight of his portraits were included in the combined exhibition of the Society of Artists and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He was elected an academician in the Pennsylvania Academy in 1824. One of Otis's most famous early works showed a scene inside a metalworking shop, probably a reflection of his years as an apprentice. In 1813 he married Alice Pierie of Philadelphia, and they had six children. Have you dropped off your blankets to the museum for distribution to the hospitality shelters ?
