Art & Photo Show Plus

 I'm soon going to get fired by my loyal blog readers as I "forget" to take enough photos of the events I attend.  I'm certainly not going to win any awards for my photography!  Compare my crazy "snap & shoot" pictures to the awesome photography we saw at the show this week.

By the time I got around to the ART side of the room, my camera went back in my pocket instead of taking more photos.  I get sidetracked by talking with the other audience members.  

I did fall in love with this little character as he's the only pic I took.  


Earlier this week, the club leaders met with Gabby and some of the staff including the Regional VP, Gery Manthos.  Gabby introduced her new assistant, Christina, 

The lasagna dinner with the Police Department was really nice!  They brought several of their drones and had them flying as demonstration.  We also met canine Benny as he demonstrated an attack.  Again I apologize as my camera was sound asleep in my pocket.


Our all girls softball tournament was well attended.

Twas a very busy week!

Quilt & Woodshop Results

 OMG!!  I can't get over the talent that resides in this park!  Touring the shows this weekend was awesome.

It is fascinating to see how hard the quilters work to put on their show.  It's not only all the racks to display the big quilts and finished products, but I'm always entertained to see the cute small displays in each aisle.




Cute sign!



So many colorful quilts.  I managed to snap a few photos when no one was standing in the way.  The show is VERY well attended.



Quilts of honor.



So many community projects.


Cute little onesies donated to the hospital ... made by the "Grandmas" from Palm Creek. 💖



These two quilts were outstanding!!



The ballroom was filled with activity for the Woodshop Show.




The "orange shirts" team of Woodworkers was busy serving hamburgers and brats with all the fixings including chips and a soda for only $8.


Attendance showed it successful.


Then there was a live auction.  Fun to watch!


CONGRATULATIONS to all the club members for a job well done!

Tonight was my favorite concert of all to see the Garth Brooks Tribute...again!  I go every year and hope to never miss it if they return for another season.  The performers feel like good friends.

We recognize Kathy as she plays a dandy fiddle.



This afternoon I spotted this beautiful white egret hunting at the main lake.

Last but not least is a photo of Casper and Scooter as they visit each other in the afternoon.  I now tell folks that I have two and a half cats as Casper comes to visit her boyfriend quite regularly.
