Nine members of the Eastman United Methodist Church Youth Group are taking a mission trip to southern Missouri this summer. To raise money for the annual, industrious and enlightening occasion, an art show fundraiser is planned for Sunday, April 30, from 3 to 5 p.m., at Gatherings on the Ridge in rural Eastman.
Artists’ donated work will be on display and for sale via silent auction for minimum bids of $30 apiece. Some of the local talents creating the pieces for sale include Sharon Dearborn, Gayle Patraw, Lisa Rogers, Lisa Miller, Cody Sime, Hans Glick, Nancy Dowling, Nate Bremmer, Tracy Morovits-Feye, Krystal Forde and others—about 20 artists in total. The array of art will feature framed and canvas paintings, a quilt, small furniture, photography, greeting cards, batik pieces and kids’ art.
