A Few Memories From Kenosha on Canvas 2017 
'Celebrity' Artist Dan Boring Veteran, Donations Liaison for the 82nd Airborne Division

Dan Boring, his wife Renee, Beth Dary and her husband Kim Dary pose with Dan's painting at the fundraiser. Kim and Beth were the winning bidders of Dan's first work. Thank you Dan for your support. 

Riki Tagliapietra and Matt Geary

Riki and Matt were both 'celebrity' artists this year. In this photo they pose with Matt's painting. Attached to the winning bid was a keg of signature beer. If you attended the event and tasted the "I Hate Flowers" signature brew created by Public Craft Brewing you know Riki got a good deal with his winning bid. Thank you to both local business owners for their generosity and willing spirit. Lemon Street loves you. 

Tom Kief Disc Jockey at 95 WILL ROCK    

Radio DJ  Tom Kief proved that he can spin music, talk on the airwaves, paint and auction paintings!  In the photo Tom is joined by the high bidder who owns the four concert tickets Tom threw in to sweeten the pot. In the process he bought back his own painting.  Thank you Tom for adding a great deal of fun and funds to the evening.
