Ava Richey's Art News

Hi Everyone,

This coming Monday, July 18th, we will continue painting the Coos County Parks. We will meet at 12:00 noon at the LaVerne Park (61217 Fairview Rd). We will start painting there, then go to W. LaVerne Park, then Rock Prairie Park.

Directions to LaVerne Park: Take Central Blvd. from Hwy 42 to Fairview Rd. Turn onto Central Blvd either by the log pond shake mill NW of Coquille, or by turning left onto Central at the traffic light in Coquille, then stay on it until you see Fairview and turn right. Drive 8.6 miles. Bear left on Coquille/Fairview Rd for another 4.8 miles, according to the Yahoo map. :) They have a phone number listed at LaVerne Park so you can call them: 541-396-2344.

If anyone would like to carpool or caravan, meet me at the north end of the Ray's parking lot by Bree's by 11:00. Please let me know if you're coming so I don't leave you. :)
My phone is 541-347-4643 and the cell is 541-297-6118.

Thanks.
Ava
