"I think it is the <br />accumulation of all <br />these experiences, the <br />research and the old <br />stories, the trips on <br />the old trails to actual <br />places, the visits to <br />histo,y museums, <br />large and small, that <br />make it possible to do <br />pictures that are real <br />and believable and <br />have the feeling of the <br />place ,ind the time I <br />have always tried in <br />both wildlife paintings <br />and historical <br />paintings to take the <br />viewer to an actual <br />place and make him <br />feel he was really <br />there." <br />John Clymer, An <br />Artist's Rendezvous <br />With The Frontier <br />West, by W. Reed. <br />2 <br />RENDEZVOUS/ <br />We held our Fall fundraiser, Rendezvous and it was a great success! We held it in the <br />newly renovated Elks event space, and approximately 200 people attended! This year, <br />we had an OktoberFest theme complete with an ompah band from CWU-the were <br />great! We want to thank Cascade Mountain Grilling {Shannon Berbe) for providing an <br />excellent dinner of (what else?) German sausage. Iron Horse Brewery supplied as great <br />German-style Ko/sch beer. The Roller City girls were our bartenders. Our auctioneer, Gee <br />Scott, helped us raise over $15,000 (after expenses). Thank you to the members of the <br />community who came and supported us! <br />INEW PARTNERSHIP! ___ _ J <br />We are very excited to announce a new partnership with the Ellensburg Rodeo Hall of <br />Fame!
