Caritas Chorale offers a breath of fresh air with raffle

    There are still a few seats left for the organization’s 1920s dinner, “Ain’t We Got Fun,” on Sept. 8. Reservations can be mase at 309-3294.  
    Raffle tickets are available from any singer or at Atkinsons’ Market from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and 4-6 p.m.
    The drawing will be at the dinner but you do not need to be present to win. For more information, contact Linda Bergerson at 726-4846, or at lpbergerson@gmail.com.


10th annual Redfish Plein Air Paint-Out continues
    The Plein Air Painters of Idaho enters its second day today, Wednesday, Sept. 4, finishing with an exhibition on Thursday, Sept. 5,  at the Redfish Lake Lodge south of Stanley. The event pairs professional and amateur members for three days of plein-air, on-location painting.
    The public is welcome throughout the three days to observe the artists set up around Redfish Lake and throughout the Sawtooth Valley to capture the mountain scenes and colors in compositions painted in oils, acrylics and watercolors from early dawn to dusk.
    Maps showing where painters will be painting each day will be posted in the artists’ tent next to the lodge. Times for free artist demonstrations will also be provided at easy-to-reach sites near the lodge for those interested in watching the creation and process of an original painting.
    The Redfish Paint Out concludes with an exhibition and reception from 5-7 p.m. Thursday in the artist’s tent next to Redfish Lake Lodge. Light refreshments will be served and the works of the participating artists will be exhibited and available for purchase. In addition, there will be a wine tasting and reception for the artists, who will be available to answer questions about their work.
