It seems like a long time since our last market! The other vendors and I look forward to the Panora Farmers Market on Saturday and hope you can join us.

We're lucky to live in a community that has so many fun things happening but it's been too long and we've missed you! We are all looking forward to our upcoming market this Saturday the 15th. We'll be ready with a fantastic line-up of vendors and a large array of market goods. See you Saturday in the Village❤️🐓

I am honored to be included in this exhibit and thank the Moorhead Cultural Center for the opportunity. Moorhead is about à two hour drive from Panora and in a lovely part of Iowa. The Moorhead Cultural Center supports art and artists with many interesting art shows and tours. Check them out.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to visit with me at Panorama Days on Saturday. We had beautiful weather, although it was a bit windy, and it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and meet new friends.

A special thanks to Cathy and the members of the Greenfield Lions Club—my booth neighbors—for helping me with my tent and loading up after the show.

The Moorhead (Iowa) Cultural Center will be featuring my pressed flower artwork from August 7 through September 20 as part of its "A Crafty Affair" program. The Cultural Center hosts a variety of programs showcasing artists and art exhibitions. If you happen to be in the area, stop in and check it out!
