The spring weather
is right around the corner with wildflowers itching to break loose.
By late April the apple and pear trees are a sight to behold with
their beautiful blossoms. We have a full month of festivities with
choral festivals, spring skiing, music festivals, and Ale Fest.
One
Day Showing March 27 4-PM
Come watch fresh new talent. The up and coming 19 year old local
artist David Alvarez created a 10' mosaic of Ray Charles using post
it notes. Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum in London was so
impressed they purchased the piece. He's at it again. Using Bicycle
Rider Back playing cards, red and blue, and a 25 foot wall of our
local Festhalle, David will transform this immense wall and
thousands of tiny playing cards into a mosaic portrait of the late,
great, Jimi Hendrix.
