GOOD, OLD FASHIONED
PICNIC (AND ART FAIR)
IN THE COUNTRY….
ANOTHER GOOD REASON
FOR A DAY TRIP!
July 24th from 10-6 & July 25th from noon to 5.
It’s our summer mini-Open House, much more casual than the spring and fall extravaganzas.
You’ll be joined by great, new (to Clay Coyote) artists
Bill Rose with his wonderful shaker rocking chairs,
Katy Hemberger with her hand bound journals, albums, scrapbooks, guest books, wedding books and accordion-style photo books. (O.K. Katy isn’t exactly new to Clay Coyote since she worked here several years ago but her art work is new to our gallery). Back for another visit are artists:
Jennifer Ionta with her glass blown bead jewelry,
Claire Swanson and her handmade baskets and
Kim Hensel with her maille jewelery…she has some new bracelets, as well.
In The Gallery, you’ll find a bunch of new artists and new works. What a Great Excuse for a summer road trip! Bring your friends and neighbors!

Greyhound Day at the Clay Coyote

Last year we had our first day with the Northern Lights Greyhound Adoption group
who brought out nearly a dozen of these beautiful, 
gentle dogs for a visit and maybe encourage someone
to look into adopting one of them. We learned a lot never having been around greyhounds. It's a great way for the kids to be introduced.
