The Shooting Gallery

Our exhibit opened last Saturday, but our reception was Friday night. Several of us were there to host the event and Ida really rocked the food! We had a good crowd, a lot of fun, and I know at least one of our members sold a framed piece! Congratulations, Ida!

If you haven't been out to see the exhibit yet, GET OVER THERE and see it! I think you'll be very impressed with how well it showcases our passion and talent as a group! The first time I saw it, I had to keep reminding myself that it was our exhibit and some of that work was mine! It really makes us look like professionals!

Winter Photo Weekend

I know this occurs during our big exhibit, so the timing isn't great, but I wanted to post this in case some members wanted to attend.

The winter photo weekend is the last weekend of January at Pine Mountain State Park. Registration is on Friday and the competition is on Saturday and then the event ends Sunday. For details, look it up on the Ky State Parks website and pick Pine Mountain.
