Diane, Ross and Marita and I drove to Wenatchee for the opening of the Recycled Art of the Icicle Prize Judges Show. Traffic wasn't bad and the car was full of lively conversation. Marita brought freshly baked chocolate chip cookies still warm from the oven.
The Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center is housed in an old post office and is grand and quaint at the same time. Complete with an original WPA .
If you go there, don't miss a thing. Be sure to see the art and the apple catapult.
Marita admires a quilt by Ross Palmer Beecher made of 7-up cans and inner tubes.
Diane sports one of her trash fascinaters made from caution tape.
Ross checks out one of Marita's pieces in the cabinet , where the majority of my work is installed, front and center. It looks great.
It was a fun evening!
