On the right side of "Yes . . ."

Friends,

We have some of the nicest people as neighbors.  They do things for the love of the Village, the community, and the people who live here.

1.  Recently, Wells Gallery, decided to have an open house.  They invited their customers from across the country to spend a weekend in Salado.  The outcome of the event is written in the note they wrote:

". . . the" gallery celebration "was a wonderful event , we are still getting thank you notes in the mail. Everyone had a great time and they could not say enough about Salado  and all plan return trips. Our goal was to make sure everyone had a good time , making money was secondary , in both cases we exceeded our expectations. Thank you."

2.  Another note:

"The Salado Village Artists (SVA) and the Public Arts League of Salado (PALS) are proud to announce their first annual "ARTexas" art competition to be held at the Salado Civic Center in October. The ARTexas competition will be open to professional artist and to high school students who will compete together for prizes and scholarships.  The event will be open to the pubic October 9-23 and the artwork will be for sale.

Bryan and Eve Fritch and Judy Sparkman were the first to say we want to participate and gave generously toward the event.  Others are following suit and their names will be listed.  They do this for the love of art, the Village, and ALL OF US.

3.  K.D. Hill and the St. Joseph's Episcopal Church brought the Veteran Guitar Project.  The people who attended clapped, laughed, and wiped away tears as they told their story, played their guitar, and sang their songs.  

4.  Tablerock presented "Shakespeare on the Rock, Twelfth Night." Kelley Parker, Tablerock Board of Directors member, directed one of Shakespeare's most beloved and renowned comedies.  He and many members of the cast are Salado residents and friends.  It was great evening that only Tablerock can produce. 

5.  Claire Hartmen and team are bringing:

6.  The Public Arts League of Salado is presenting an outstanding family event built around "Jack and the Beanstalk."
