A very unfortunate woodland fire consumed thousands of acres of nearby land. A number of structures were destroyed and Klickitat Fairgrounds became a huge refuge and became the address of a lot of people ordered to evacuate. Fortunately the Monastary Complex Fire did not take any lives thanks to the many firemen who came from all over. We did have a small group come to 2nd Thursday night and it was a pretty quiet and reflective night.
Our next show in October we will be in two galleries at the same time. We have been asked to do a show in The Dalles Art Center and the Golden Art Gallery will feature Charlene Morrison and her aprons on the craft side and Charlotte Van Sant King will present a new series of her wonderful prints. We will have Second Thursday Oct. 13 at home and many of us plan to attend the 1st Thursday in The Dalles. OR.
