Thanksgiving is almost upon us, and Angela has been busy with pumpkin-themed Wine & Paint workshops! In another week or so, we'll be shifting gears to get ready for Christmas, and she's got some new Wine & Paints planned for that, including Seuss Trees, which were very popular last year, as well as a Grinch hand that will make your heart grow three sizes!  

We've also got a new Origami Christmas Ornament workshop on deck. This one is brand new, and is guaranteed to be an evening of fun!

There is also one more Memory Pillows workshop posted, so you preserve a favorite shirt to keep or to give as a gift. 

And let's not forget our Writer's Group! It's still going strong!

And in the midst of all of this, we're helping with the Ice Festival! Several of us are helping with the props for the Crazy Parade, and we'll be walking in the parade as well!  Stop by the vendor area during the festival and say hi! 

There are more workshops in store for the coming winter months! 

Although we'll be skipping our December meeting, we'll resume our regular meeting schedule in January - second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm, at Gallery 3West in the Montgomery Ward Building. Come and join us!

Come out and help us celebrate!! We'll be at the Elks Club on 3rd Street in Lewistown on Friday, Oct. 30. Doors will open at 8:00 pm, and the main event begins at 10:00 pm, but not until we've had our costume contest - one prize for best Rocky Horror costume and one prize for non-Rocky Horror costume!

We'll provide snacks, and there will be a cash bar. Absolutely no one under 21 will be admitted.

Admission is $10, and if you'd like a prop bag, it's an extra $5. 

Don't worry if you've never been to RHPS or if you don't know what to yell or what to throw when - we'll help you!! And we do love us some RHPS virgins!! Just bring your sense of humor and have fun!! 

Check out  the PICTURES page to see the fun from past years!!

LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!!!

Are you a wealth of useless information like we are? Put it to use, and maybe you'll win some cash in the process!

Our frequent partners, Mifflin County Historical Society, will hold a team trivia contest Sunday, September 27, at the Burnham Lions' Club Building. Doors will open at noon, and lunch, snacks, and soft drinks will be available for purchase at the Lions' Club Snack Bar beginning at that time. BYO adult beverages are permitted.

The game will begin at 2:00 pm and will be hosted by Jed Donahue, who runs the trivia games at Smitty's Bar & Grill

It was brought to our attention the the Contact Us page of our website was missing. It was accidentally deleted during a routine update, but it's all fixed now! You are welcome to contact us through the Contact Us page or through our Facebook page. We prefer that you contact individual workshop instructors for questions about their workshops, so if a phone number or email address is provided for the instructor, please use that. Some of our instructors are not online, so if no contact info is provided, please contact us here or on FB, and we will contact the instructor. Thanks!

We'd like to give a big shout out to Jane Mort and The Sentinel for the nice spread they gave us yesterday! Jane will give a Junque Journal workshop at Gallery 3West next month. See our Events page for details!

One of the hardest parts of putting together the Annual Student Art Exhibit is getting "the boards" (temporary walls). Each "board" is made of two oversized sheets of OSB connected with hinges. They are very heavy, and there are about 30 sets of them. Each year, we need to move them from our storage unit to the Lumina Center and set them up, and each year we ask for volunteers to help us so that we can continue to present student art. We would like to thank the following people who helped us with this monumental task: Bryson Wagner, Jenny Barron Landis, Matt Knepp, Ike Knepp, Doug Sipe, Sam Markley, Matt Gers, Ryan Taylor, Shawna Ridley,  Vedra Wilt, and Savannah Wilt.  

Jane Cannon Mort will lead a Junque Journal workshop in July. Junque journals are a great way to express your creativity, not only through writing, but through the creation of the journal itself! Check out our website for more details!

You'll notice some changes to our Wine & Paint workshops on the Events page. The topics for the June and July Wine & Paints will be announced at a later date, because the paintings are still in development.


 Also, we are only accepting registration for the May workshops at this time. This helps us to avoid confusion to be be sure that we don't overbook for the number of seats we have. In most cases, if a workshop sells out, and if there is enough interest, we try to have another one on the same topic so that everyone gets a chance to come and play with us!
