Congrats to Tania Nault

Tania Nault is one of our most active volunteers each year at Reflections. She basically doesn't stop working from the time she arrives until the show is over. Tania will be at Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park down in the south-west corner of the province - so if you are in that area be sure to see her.

Super exciting - we are having an art sale - let me know if you want to participate by emailing me at campbell.beth@gmail.com

If you can't participate - I hope that you can make it out to see this wonderful new facility just south of Saskatoon. Help us spread the word.

We had a great time at Bob Lavender's workshop held in the studio at Paul Perron's acreage. Proceeds of the class will help put on The Reflections of Nature Show in October.
