Last Day of the Among Friends Art Show

Today we had a steady stream of people coming through to see the show which was a little unusual.

Most years the last day of this long holiday weekend people are packing up and leaving early to head back to the city from their cottages, since the families with children have to get them home early enough so they get some sleep before heading back to school the next day.

Two paintings were sold by Catherine Selinger and Tom Young as well as small items were sold by Diane Collins, Pat Harvey and JoAnne Northey.

The hours for our show are:
19 May 13 - 10:00am - 5:00pm

We look forward to seeing some of you at our next show being held in August here at St. Matthews Church.

Among Friends Art Show

Today we had a steady stream of people going through the show more than likely due to the day being a little warmer and we had a mix of sun and cloud for most of the day until the last hour of the show when the storm clouds rolled in and we had a downpour of rain

Three paintings were sold by Irene Smith, Tom Young and Catherine Selinger. Small items were sold by Diane Collins, Pat Harvey and JoAnne Connell Northey.

Looking forward to seeing some of you at our show being held this Victoria Day weekend.

The hours for our show are:
18 May 13 - 12:30pm - 5:00pm
19 May 13 - 10:00am - 5:00pm

The 26th Annual Among Friends Art Show and Sale

Today is the first day of the 26th Annual Among Friends Art Show and Sale at St. Matthews Church in Buckhorn, Ontario.

Just when we thought that spring had finally arrived with the warm temperatures of the last few days Mother Nature surprised us with the temperature going back to freezing 32F (0C) it is going to be a while yet before we have consistent seasonal temperatures.

Due to the low temperatures and the high cost of gas $1.34 litre ($5.96 imperial gallon) the turnout was much less than expected although we did have a number of people going through the show.

One painting was sold by Heather Grant and small items were sold by Diane Collins.

The hours for our show are:
17 May 13 - 9:00am - 5:00pm.
18 May 13 - 12:30pm - 5:00pm.
19 May 13 - 10:00am - 5:00pm.

Looking forward to seeing some of you at our show being held this Victoria Day weekend.

Setting Up the Among Friends Art Show

As usual last night we set up the grids, tables and chairs for the show.






















A couple of the artists also set up their display areas as they were unable to be there for setting up today.






















Most of the artists started setting up at 9:30 this morning and at lunch time headed next door to the Cody Inn for and enjoyable meal of Chinese food.






















By 4:30pm. the last of the artists had completed setting up their displays and the show was ready for the opening tomorrow.















The hours for our show are:
17 May 13 - 9:00am - 5:00 pm
18 May 13 - 12:30pm - 5:00pm
19 May 13 - 10:00am - 5:00pm















Hopefully some of you will come out and visit with us at the show this weekend.
