The Gathering

Bill M helping a new player.

All the classes for the day were posted on the board and labeled beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

The Gathering includes a raffle of some very nice items like this handmade wooden basket by Buster.  Proceeds from the raffle go to three local charities.  $5000 was collected this year!

Cindy, teacher of many excellent classes.

An ongoing class.

This was another favorite at the Gathering.  It is a possum board painted by Billy Martin, an excellent artist and fiddle player.

Ooops.  This photo of a morning smoothie got mixed into these photos and I'll leave it because it is pretty.  :-)  This particular smoothie has kale, oranges, and watermelon in it.  I forget what else.

Another favorite at the raffle.  This beautiful stained glass dulcimer was made by Karen.  She doesn't play dulcimer but her husband does.

Another ongoing class.

As you can see, we lucked out with wonderful weather the whole week.

More raffle items.  I really, really wanted to win the quilt on the left but I didn't.
