Classes for Kids!

Kids are having great fun in the summer classes at the Barn. June and July have been busy with children who are drawing and painting - even doing sculpture! Lynn Hogan is pictured top left assisting a student with her faux metal figurine. Top right, Diana Taylor discusses the black lady bug with a budding artist. At bottom left, the artist shows off her landscape without the lady bug, and teacher Judy Perkins observes.

Barn Yard Sale May 30

All ages of shoppers visited the Barn Yard Sale. We had good sales, earning over $1,200 from items that were donated by members and friends of the Barn. Buyers clamored over the baked goods sale, organized and manned by Linda Sullivan. The baked goods raised $186, and sold out around 1:30, before the chocolate icing completely melted...

Thanks to all Who volunteered and purchased!

English Afternoon Tea, March 28, 2009

What a day! After weeks of collecting dishes, gathering exotic ingredients, and fighting with the Post Office, we finally had our Tea!

We owe HUGE thanks to Jo Gately and Jane Coffee for compiling recipes, soliciting donations, brewing, baking and bringing along their own support system.The WAC brigade that gave so much of their time and creative efforts were real troopers to the last drop. Thank you, everyone!

As you can see, the community came out in droves - 160 reservations for an event that was originally planned for 100.
