I must say I was thrilled with the success of our 25th Silver Anniversary
Celebration at our gallery the first weekend of May. With an amazing 30% response to our invitations, our sales were better than I’ve seen in many months. The new canyon country photos were well received. We gave away four gift certificates to Donna Schaeffer, Barbara Knelfec, Dave and Fredda Fisher and the grand prize going to Darrell Schmidt. So now we are into our 26th year and it began with our fourth return to the Wichita Book and Art Fair in Kansas, and once again this show turned out to be well worth the trip. I’d like to welcome aboard our new Wichita customers, especially Sue Wiechman, Ryan Atchison and Maury Edwards. This weekend and third weekend of the next five months we will be participating in Parker’s Art A La Carte taking place in their downtown area. This seems like it will be a great time. For the 11th consecutive Memorial Day weekend, we will be in downtown Denver for the Arts Festival at the Pavillions. This show has made some major improvements in the past few years since a fellow artist, Jim DeLutes took it over. If you’re in town for the weekend, come on down ! It’s great that summer is almost here, the economy seems to be improving and people are beginning to feel happy again. I’ll be announcing an upcoming trip before too long. By the way, Teresa and I are going to be grandparents very soon. Our daughter, Leanne, will be giving birth to baby Jude within the next couple of weeks. We’ll let you know .
