Thanks For A Great Show!

    Thanks to all of you who attended the SJCGA Fall Show.  It was well attended considering the weather and threat of rain. There was some light sprinkles but overall it turned out to be a beautiful day. Our members are appreciative for your support attending the show and purchasing from our valley members. 

The winner of the raffle was M. Raterman.  She will receive a  $50. gift certificate, towards

the purchase of an item from our exhibiting members.

Special thanks to our Show directors Fox & Lois Garney, who worked closely with Craig Easter (postcard) and publicity board member, Annie Compton-Schmidt making the event 

happen smoothly without a hitch.

Many of our members will be opening their studios and exhibiting at local venues for upcoming Holiday Sales. Check back here as we compile a list of names and dates for a chance to peek into the spaces where they work and find some great gifts for the season.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.
