Dahmen exhibit features three artists

Three artists who have rediscovered the fun of painting will exhibit pastel and water colors at the Dahmen Barn in November: They are Linda Shewey and Sharley Schenk of Clarkston and Franceen Hermanson from Pullman.

They all met while taking a pastel class taught by Judy Fairley. The women travel the area together to photograph material for their art.

The exhibit will run Nov. 6 through 30 and the reception is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 9 from 1 to 3 p.m.

CLUBS & YOUTH GROUPS

Rosalia Garden Club

Annual guest day for Rosalia Garden Club Nov 5 will feature Bruce and Diane Moriarty from the Spokane area who will do a presentation on “Straw Bale Gardening.” After reading Joel Karsten’s book on the subject, they applied his techniques and had wonderful success with their garden which they will share with members and guests. This type of gardening is very popular and the WSU Extension Service has a fact sheet #FS109E available on the subject.

Special guests will be husbands and any other interested residents.

The meeting starts at 1p.m. at the Rosalia United Methodist Church with hostesses Ann Heck and Sandy Thursby.
