Jenifer has graciously invited us to her place for an enjoyable social gathering. She is refurbishing her studio space and would like to give away some paintings, frames, and supplies. She is also offering treats. You are welcome to bring treats of your own if you would like. I will be sending out a reminder with her contact info again this week. Thank you Jenifer.

This is a beautiful and well-kept Natural Area in West Greeley. We have painted here before a couple years back. It has a big red barn near a covered picnic table and paved walkways, a wood boardwalk trails along a small pond. The pond has beautiful clear reflections of the trees and natural grasses nearby. A dirt trail leads you to the Poudre River. This area is beautiful and peaceful. You will love it here.

Now heading East on Eisenhower towards Greeley, take the Greeley business route and continue to N. 71st Ave. Turn Left (North) on 71st Ave. Continue past the high school.
