July 2019
a newsletter about current events & updates
Greetings!
Well, I missed June altogether. Sorry about that. It was Art in the Garden that took up most of my time. If you "did" the tour - you know how much fun it was. If you didn't - you can mark your calendars for June 13 & 14. You won't want to miss the tour. It's going to be fabulous. We already have many gardens who are ready to participate. And while you are marking your calendars - circle May 16 - this will be the 2nd Annual Dancing with the Grants Pass Stars. It was hugely successful this year and raised over $30,000 for the various non profits involved.

This community is amazing. Don't miss out on anything.
Next newsletter will be August 1. If you have something to post - please send it to me.

Enjoy!
Hyla

Since 2012, in order to maintain a travel lifestyle 200 engagements per year, Lipbonehas returned to his roots and has sprouted new shoots. An uncanny vocal range, a nylon string guitar, a wooden spoon duct-taped to his foot and a lifetime of stories are all he needs to get the party started. “One man orchestra. Unplugged. Unexpected.”
