Don’t forget Arts Alive in Garberville this Friday.

Spring is here and we are kicking Arts Alive off this Friday, May 3^rd.  It’s also the opening day of the Farmer’s Market so plan to spend a fun filled day in town.  

Hal Lepoff will be caroling with both first grade classes from Redway School from 1:15 to 2:15 with stops at Umpqua Bank, North Valley Bank, The Community Credit Union and the Town Square.  

Businesses are extending their hours for Arts Alive and featuring some great artists.  Café Minou will have live music with the FNR band featuring local legends Tony Nester, Larry Fries, and Randy Ruland and art by their very own Heather Parker.  

Take the detour off Redwood Drive and enjoy an appetizer and good vibes located at the old Chataqua site.  Jessie Clark from Mendocino county is being featured at both the Mateel Arts Co-op and Flavors.  The Mateel Arts Co-op will also have works my Mary Odisio and many other local artists.  Jennifer McCarthy’s jewelry will be on display and available for purchase at the Garden of Beadin’.  The Stonery will have Scroll Saw Art (woodworking) by Bob Ewing and rumor is it is a must see.  Humboldt Hunnies will be hanging Sarah Young Paintings and Umpqua Bank will feature Erin Freeman Photography.
