Gett'n Ready!

Today we are working out details on bringing the Art in Action for Spring Obsession to the Alhambra Music Room for the weekend instead of the Heritage Room where we have been located these past several years.

Based on suggestions from all of our past participating artists, this will bring you and your display into the same area as the Exhibit, which will provide more direct and constant contact with your public for the weekend.  An added benefit is participating artists will be able to enjoy Chef Rob's cooking demos on Saturday without leaving their space!

Making this move will limit the actual display area as well as the number of artists able to participate. How the selections will be made is still up in the air. Your suggestions are always welcome. Whichever direction is chosen will be what we consider the most fair for all.

Life as a journey

"Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave intent on arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Cabernet in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

This was emailed to me this morning... words for thought going into a new year. Anyone know who's quote is this anyway?

Happy Birthday to ME! the Crystalline Gold!

Today marks the 20th Anniversary of My discovery!  

I, the Crystalline Gold Specimen 

located here at Ironstone's Heritage Museum, 

was discovered by the Sonora Mining Company 

in their Jamestown site 20 years ago today!

Come by today and sing me a song!
