Knitting Group Changes

After school knitting will continue through March on Thursday afternoons at 4 p.m. Some may overlap with the book group, but knitting and chatting about books is fun, too.

Art Show

The Annual Art Show was well attended and the entries were beautiful, creative and fun and the talent of the entrants was inspiring. Best in Show by the judges was an oil painting by Rachel (Blunt) Nunez. The People's Choice Award was given to Stephanie Bauer for her Folk Art entry, which was clothing made of toothpicks and guitar picks!

Thanks to Doug Lindstrand, Winthrop native--now living in Alaska, who displayed many pieces of his wildlife art and sketchbooks. Doug has donated many of his books to the library and they may be checked out.
