Drawing Sessions
Linda Gall, Jan, 2009
Area artists, including many members of ZAAP, come together on Monday evenings for life drawing sessions. It's not a class. It's
a time for artists to practice, to hone their skills, to talk to other artists, and enjoy the rewards of practicing the most
basic art form, drawing. Drawing from the nude is essential to the visual artist, whatever medium, style or subject they work in.
Drawing is about looking and then looking again and attending these sessions is a unique opportunity to do just that. Once an
artist is comfortable with their ability to see...how wide the jut of that hip is...the curve of the spine in this position...the
feet in relation to the head when the figure is foreshortened...they begin to interpret what they know and develop a style that they
can apply to their own work. Drawing the model involves learning about proportion, line, mass, and direction among other things. This
is knowledge that becomes, with practice, a part of your artistic "chops"; somehow it lodges in your fingertips. It will
translate itself and enhance whatever you are working on. If you draw the plant on your sidetable you will draw it better than you did
before.
If you are making a giant welded-steel abstract sculpture it will please the eye in ways that you cannot explain, if you are painting
anything at all, you will find yourself feeling more confidant and skillful than you did last week. This is true for artists of all
sorts, working with all kinds of material. It is true for me and it is true for you.
We are so lucky to have this opportunity available to us. We have a plethora of models, male and female. Each model has a style of
their own and so each week we have a new experience and a new way of looking. We pay our models well and they work hard for us. We
meet for 3 hours every Monday evening from 6 - 9 pm. This is not a class, so you don't have to be there on time and you don't have to
stay the entire time either. We take two breaks, one at 7pm and another at 8pm. We do a head count at 7pm and we divide that number
into the model fee. But we never charge less than $5 or more than $10.
So if 15 people show up and we have extra money for the model fee, we put that into a kitty. That way, if the next week only 5 show up
we can charge $10 instead of $12 and take the extra from the kitty. Sometimes we take some of the extra money to buy things like
glasses and corkscrews because we do encourage artists to bring drinks and snacks. The breaks are lively social events as you can
well imagine, with artists eating and drinking, looking at each others work, talking, sharing ideas.
"Looking at each others work" can sound intimidating but I assure you that it isn't. The artists who attend bring a wide
range of skill levels. Some are beginners, others have been working for too many years. Some are self-taught and others hold university
degrees in the fine arts. Some are still in high school. Others are grandparents.I don't think the artists are competitive in this
environment. Which isn't to say that we don't like to show off something that we think we did exceptionally well! If you feel
self-conscious about what you are doing, simply close your drawing pad during breaks.
We meet in the basement studios of the Carl Mitzel Building at 126 Muskingum Avenue. We share this building with the Richard Earley
Dance Studio and Weasel Boy Micro Brewery. This is the big factory building next door to Muddy Miser's. There is a large parking lot
directly across the street. The double doors are unlocked at 5:30, wander around the hall and you'll see the stairs leading down to the
basement. Go to the left at the bottom of the stairs and there we will be. We have tables and chairs, 'horses' to sit on with a place
to prop your paper, some easels, and lots of drawing boards to support your tablets. You have to bring your own paper and charcoal,
pencil, pen, ink, paint, whatever you want to work with.
We hope you will join us sometime. You don't have to come every week. Come when you like. If you would like to be on our email list
or have other questions feel free to contact us.

Vase Project
Kay Israel, Feb, 2009
During the summer of 2008, local artists were given the opportunity to paint and decorate 170 pound, 7 feet tall, Weller inspired vases.
This project was launched by Allen Cottrill. Dr. Roy Palmer V.P. of Hocking College and David Mitzel, Executive Director of
Muskingum County Community Foundation.
Artists worked in the Carl Mitzel Building and after several weeks, plain white vases were transformed into unique works of art.
In July , 2008, the Vase - Apalloza Auction of Vases was held in the Carl Mitzel building. The auction was organized by Jamie Hoover,
Director of communications.
Now, near the west span of the Y Bridge, stand these majestic vases. The land was formally occupied by White Chevrolet. It was
donated by the Upton Family.
Members of the Zanesville Appalachian Arts Project, the Appalachian Potters Guild, Gallery Z, Zanesville Artist Colony, and the
National Ceramic Museum and Heritage Center painted the vases.
The MCCF was the fiscal agent for the project and Jamie Thomas, Controller MCCF, saw it through to completion.

Kathy Jenkins
Artist and Owner of the Little Colonial School Shop, Ltd.
Kathy Jenkins is a retired teacher of the Franklin Local School District and is currently pursuing her interest in art. She
is a member of the Zanesville Art Center, The Zanesville Artists’ Colony, Beaux Art, and The Zanesville Appalachian Arts
Project. Kathy’s interest in art and in research of present and historical places has combined into many artistic projects.
Kathy has a small studio and shop in her home at 4125 Old River Road, Philo, Ohio where she creates paintings, sells paintings,
prints of her paintings, frames, and art, school, and scrapbooking supplies. She has completed a painting in the 2007 Muskingum
Soil and Water Conservation District Art Competition “Painting Conservation on the Land” on the basis of a sketch she created in
the competition followed by selection to be the artist to represent Muskingum County. In the state wide project a painting has
been created by a selected artist from each county in Ohio. The paintings have been displayed during 2008 at many statewide
meetings and prominent places in Columbus, Ohio including the capital’s State House. Kathy has also completed a series of
paintings depicting schools in the Franklin Local School District, the historical Sturges Buckingham house in Duncan Falls,
Ohio, the Velvet Ice Cream Mill in Utica, Ohio, several farm houses and churches in Muskingum County, and a painting of the
Ohio Ceramic Center on Route #93, Crooksville, Ohio. Four historical potteries of the region have been included in this
painting. Kathy’s painting of Historical Potteries in Ohio received a ribbon and special recognition for best meeting the
theme of a show held at the Center in 2007. The painting has remained at the Center for permanent display. Artist’s prints of
this painting have been made available in Kathy’s home shop and also in the Ohio Ceramic Center’s gift shop.
Each month Kathy has participated in Zanesville’s First Friday Art Walks in the Z.A.A.P. Gallery at 625 Main Street where some
of her recent art work has been displayed. She has had some of her art, school, and scrapbooking supplies for sale in this

The Barracks
We will be meeting at The Barracks on May 3rd, Sunday, at 12:30. There is no charge, but we would like everyone to bring a covered
dish or munchie. This gathering is to experience the grounds where Howard Chandler Christy created some of his work and to
inspire us to create our own. Melodie Hayes has put together a powerpoint for members to get to know him as an artist and native
Ohioan. The work that is done from this gathering will be exhibited at The Barracks for the Centennial celebration of the
construction of the Christy home.
There is a home with many of Christy's prints from war posters to book illustrations. There is a large barn with his studio
still intact. There are gardens, outbuildings, woods and a beautiful view through the trees above the Muskingum River.
To reach The Barracks, take Rt 60 south through Duncan Falls. After going through the town you will pass signs for Blue Rock
State Park. Continue on for about 1 mile - the Muskingum River is on your right and there is a sheer rocky cliff on your left.
There is a curve in the road and directly after this curve is the driveway, on the left, going up a steep hill and a sign the
says "The Barracks". Slow down before the curve to slow any traffic behind you and, if you miss the driveway, there is a
turnaround just ahead.
There should be various members making this trip, if you would need a ride or more information please contact Diane Carter
at 453-2031 or dc1853@hotmail.com .

Winners of the The Theme is Pottery art show were honored at a reception held at the Ceramic Museum and Heritage Center on Saturday, September 12, 2009. This is the eighth year the Crooksville Arts Council has collaborated with the Museum on this growing show with representative pieces from artists in Crooksville, Roseville and Zanesville as well as new additions from as far away as Bremen, Reynoldsburg and Columbus.
The show was divided into four categories: paintings, mixed media, pottery and writing, each eligible piece had to include some reference to pottery. Winners were given a rosette ribbon indicating their placement and a piece of collectable piece of pottery donated by the museum. First place winners were given a teapot made by Hartstone pottery, second and third place winners were awarded a numbered McCoy inspired purse bank and those artists honorably mentioned were given a collectable museum tote featuring the winning painting entry from last year’s contest by Kathy Jenkins.
First place in the Mixed Media division was Barb Murphy White, second place went to Janet Sowers and third place was taken home by Sue Hall. The honorable mention collectable tote bag was awarded to Gloria Gross.
In the Pottery division, newcomer Barbara Gilkerson from Bremen was the first place winner with a raku vase enhanced with cut out leaves. “What a nice event.” Gilreason said. “I’m really a water color painter, this is the first contest I’ve entered with my ceramics.” Anita Gladman won second place in the pottery division with Arthur Kettner taking third.
Carol Smith won first place in the Painting division with Gary Graham taking second and Norma LaVack placing third. Honorable mention went to Vincent Gebhart.
The writing division was added four years ago after the formation of the Pen & Quill Writer’s Guild. This year’s first place winner was Katherine Reichley. Heidi During Heiby took second place with Summer Clark a close third and Rita Smith the recipient of honorable mention. Heidi, Summer and Rita are all members of the Y-City Writer’s Group. This is only contest Heidi has entered in over a year. “I didn’t know what to expect from this event but I was pleasantly surprised.” Heidi said. “It was so comfortable with the music and snacks, really nice to spend an afternoon with like-minded people.”
The Theme is Pottery show is held on the second Saturday of September every year. Entries must be registered with the museum before the end of August. Next year the contest will expand to include flower arranging in ceramic vessels. Art Council President, Alma Hoopes, encourages all painters, potters, writers, artists and gardeners to save those pieces they create throughout the year for entry into the 2010 Theme is Pottery art show.

From Behind the Scenes
The Artist Colony of Zanesville welcomes an artistic debut to October’s First Friday Gallery Hop. Better known for her work with Zanesville Community Theatre and the ZCT Annual Angel Tree Benefit, Shelley Tolliver now finds herself in a different position – center stage.
More comfortable celebrating the art and effort of others, Shelley seems to be at a loss of words when talking about herself. “I doodle” she states. “The term “artist” is intimidating.” Often she can be found with a pencil in hand quickly sketching people, landscapes and animals. Later, at home in her studio (crafted and customized by her husband Richard) she’ll tinker away experimenting with colored pencils, pastels and most recently, paints and watercolors. Her current project is illustrating pictures to coincide with the short story her husband wrote called “The Cowboy”. They are hoping to publish a coffee table book in time for Christmas.
Her artistic debut will feature many of her holiday illustrations as well as personal favorites. “Gallery Hoppers will be the first to catch a glimpse of my work. I’m very excited!..but I have lots of butterflies, too.” She states with a smile. Her work will be featured at the Rambo Memorial Health Center which is now located on 711 Main Street, in Zanesville. Ditty’s Downtown Deli on South 4th Street will also feature her theatrical contributions from program art to t-shirts as well as her seldom seen sketch work for theatrical concepts.
On top of readying for her artistic debut, she and her husband, Rich, are gearing up for their Annual Angel Tree Benefit which they create, produce and direct with all proceeds going to Zanesville’s Salvation Army. (Auditions are October 4 &5 at ZCT at 7:00 pm) This will be year 19 for the ZCT Annual Angel Tree Benefit. “It’s amazing” states Shelley, “People can come together and leave as friends…friends who have made a difference in the lives of others. I am honored and humbled to be a part of this yearly tradition in giving. I am very lucky to live in such a supportive community.”
When asked to share a little about herself, she hesitates. “My life is really no different than others as everyone has their struggles. I got my love of art from my folks. My mother could draw like a dream! She, my sister and I would sit and draw for hours. Those were great times. My Dad would tell traditional nursery rhymes to my sister and me in the most dramatic of ways. I had a very lucky childhood even though my Mom passed away when I was only 13. Over two years before she was told she only had 6 months to live. I learned a lot from her struggles and her faith. Her determination and kind, hopeful spirit really inspired me. I am nearly 40 and I miss her all the time.” With a pause and a glance Shelley continues, “But look at me now! Can you believe I am a “Featured Artist”? I feel good fortune continues to smile on me as I have a wonderful life with a fantastic husband who is not afraid to have a good time or help others in need. He also “gets me”. We are quite the pair.” With a smile she states “Now if I could only find that dream job where I can help others full time…”
Shelley’s work can be seen at the Rambo Memorial Health Center where works of colored pencil, pencil and some paint can be seen and even purchased. Her focus of choice is people. Her style is evolving and changing but she states “I’m enjoying the ride.”
Steve Spires will be providing the entertainment at Rambo Memorial Health Center. Her theatrical work at Ditty’s will be a range from Shakespearian to comedies as well as preliminary sketches for various plays and events.
As a ‘Thank You” to Gallery Hoppers, Rambo Health Center will be offering free flu shots to folks of Muskingum County. Out of town hoppers can purchase a flu shot for $15. They are very excited to participate in the success of the downtown event!

Come on down and have a good time.

Drawing Sessions
Linda Gall, Jan, 2009
Area artists, including many members of ZAAP, come together on Monday evenings for life drawing sessions. It's not a class. It's a time for artists to practice, to hone their skills, to talk to other artists, and enjoy the rewards of practicing the most basic art form, drawing. Drawing from the nude is essential to the visual artist, whatever medium, style or subject they work in.
Drawing is about looking and then looking again and attending these sessions is a unique opportunity to do just that. Once an
artist is comfortable with their ability to see...how wide the jut of that hip is...the curve of the spine in this position...the
feet in relation to the head when the figure is foreshortened...they begin to interpret what they know and develop a style that they
can apply to their own work. Drawing the model involves learning about proportion, line, mass, and direction among other things. This
is knowledge that becomes, with practice, a part of your artistic "chops"; somehow it lodges in your fingertips. It will
translate itself and enhance whatever you are working on. If you draw the plant on your sidetable you will draw it better than you did
before.
If you are making a giant welded-steel abstract sculpture it will please the eye in ways that you cannot explain, if you are painting
anything at all, you will find yourself feeling more confidant and skillful than you did last week. This is true for artists of all
sorts, working with all kinds of material. It is true for me and it is true for you.
We are so lucky to have this opportunity available to us. We have a plethora of models, male and female. Each model has a style of their own and so each week we have a new experience and a new way of looking. We pay our models well and they work hard for us. We meet for 3 hours every Monday evening from 6 - 9 pm. This is not a class, so you don't have to be there on time and you don't have to stay the entire time either. We take two breaks, one at 7pm and another at 8pm. We do a head count at 7pm and we divide that number into the model fee. But we never charge less than $5 or more than $10.
So if 15 people show up and we have extra money for the model fee, we put that into a kitty. That way, if the next week only 5 show up
we can charge $10 instead of $12 and take the extra from the kitty. Sometimes we take some of the extra money to buy things like
glasses and corkscrews because we do encourage artists to bring drinks and snacks. The breaks are lively social events as you can
well imagine, with artists eating and drinking, looking at each others work, talking, sharing ideas.
"Looking at each others work" can sound intimidating but I assure you that it isn't. The artists who attend bring a wide
range of skill levels. Some are beginners, others have been working for too many years. Some are self-taught and others hold university
degrees in the fine arts. Some are still in high school. Others are grandparents.I don't think the artists are competitive in this
environment. Which isn't to say that we don't like to show off something that we think we did exceptionally well! If you feel
self-conscious about what you are doing, simply close your drawing pad during breaks.
We meet in the basement studios of the Carl Mitzel Building at 126 Muskingum Avenue. We share this building with the Richard Earley
Dance Studio and Weasel Boy Micro Brewery. This is the big factory building next door to Muddy Miser's. There is a large parking lot
directly across the street. The double doors are unlocked at 5:30, wander around the hall and you'll see the stairs leading down to the
basement. Go to the left at the bottom of the stairs and there we will be. We have tables and chairs, 'horses' to sit on with a place
to prop your paper, some easels, and lots of drawing boards to support your tablets. You have to bring your own paper and charcoal,
pencil, pen, ink, paint, whatever you want to work with.
We hope you will join us sometime. You don't have to come every week. Come when you like. If you would like to be on our email list or have other questions feel free to contact us.

Vase Project
Kay Israel, Feb, 2009
During the summer of 2008, local artists were given the opportunity to paint and decorate 170 pound, 7 feet tall, Weller inspired vases.
This project was launched by Allen Cottrill. Dr. Roy Palmer V.P. of Hocking College and David Mitzel, Executive Director of
Muskingum County Community Foundation.
Artists worked in the Carl Mitzel Building and after several weeks, plain white vases were transformed into unique works of art.
In July , 2008, the Vase - Apalloza Auction of Vases was held in the Carl Mitzel building. The auction was organized by Jamie Hoover,
Director of communications.
Now, near the west span of the Y Bridge, stand these majestic vases. The land was formally occupied by White Chevrolet. It was donated by the Upton Family.
Members of the Zanesville Appalachian Arts Project, the Appalachian Potters Guild, Gallery Z, Zanesville Artist Colony, and the National Ceramic Museum and Heritage Center painted the vases.
The MCCF was the fiscal agent for the project and Jamie Thomas, Controller MCCF, saw it through to completion.

Artist and Owner of the Little Colonial School Shop, Ltd.
Kathy Jenkins is a retired teacher of the Franklin Local School District and is currently pursuing her interest in art. She
is a member of the Zanesville Art Center, The Zanesville Artists’ Colony, Beaux Art, and The Zanesville Appalachian Arts
Project. Kathy’s interest in art and in research of present and historical places has combined into many artistic projects.
Kathy has a small studio and shop in her home at 4125 Old River Road, Philo, Ohio where she creates paintings, sells paintings,
prints of her paintings, frames, and art, school, and scrapbooking supplies. She has completed a painting in the 2007 Muskingum
Soil and Water Conservation District Art Competition “Painting Conservation on the Land” on the basis of a sketch she created in
the competition followed by selection to be the artist to represent Muskingum County. In the state wide project a painting has
been created by a selected artist from each county in Ohio. The paintings have been displayed during 2008 at many statewide
meetings and prominent places in Columbus, Ohio including the capital’s State House. Kathy has also completed a series of
paintings depicting schools in the Franklin Local School District, the historical Sturges Buckingham house in Duncan Falls,
Ohio, the Velvet Ice Cream Mill in Utica, Ohio, several farm houses and churches in Muskingum County, and a painting of the
Ohio Ceramic Center on Route #93, Crooksville, Ohio. Four historical potteries of the region have been included in this
painting. Kathy’s painting of Historical Potteries in Ohio received a ribbon and special recognition for best meeting the
theme of a show held at the Center in 2007. The painting has remained at the Center for permanent display. Artist’s prints of
this painting have been made available in Kathy’s home shop and also in the Ohio Ceramic Center’s gift shop.
Each month Kathy has participated in Zanesville’s First Friday Art Walks in the Z.A.A.P. Gallery at 625 Main Street where some
of her recent art work has been displayed. She has had some of her art, school, and scrapbooking supplies for sale in this

The Barracks
We will be meeting at The Barracks on May 3rd, Sunday, at 12:30. There is no charge, but we would like everyone to bring a covered dish or munchie. This gathering is to experience the grounds where Howard Chandler Christy created some of his work and to inspire us to create our own. Melodie Hayes has put together a powerpoint for members to get to know him as an artist and native Ohioan. The work that is done from this gathering will be exhibited at The Barracks for the Centennial celebration of the construction of the Christy home.
There is a home with many of Christy's prints from war posters to book illustrations. There is a large barn with his studio
still intact. There are gardens, outbuildings, woods and a beautiful view through the trees above the Muskingum River.
To reach The Barracks, take Rt 60 south through Duncan Falls. After going through the town you will pass signs for Blue Rock State Park. Continue on for about 1 mile - the Muskingum River is on your right and there is a sheer rocky cliff on your left. There is a curve in the road and directly after this curve is the driveway, on the left, going up a steep hill and a sign the says "The Barracks". Slow down before the curve to slow any traffic behind you and, if you miss the driveway, there is a turnaround just ahead.
There should be various members making this trip, if you would need a ride or more information please contact Diane Carter at 453-2031 or dc1853@hotmail.com .

Winners of the The Theme is Pottery art show were honored at a reception held at the Ceramic Museum and Heritage Center on Saturday, September 12, 2009. This is the eighth year the Crooksville Arts Council has collaborated with the Museum on this growing show with representative pieces from artists in Crooksville, Roseville and Zanesville as well as new additions from as far away as Bremen, Reynoldsburg and Columbus.
The show was divided into four categories: paintings, mixed media, pottery and writing, each eligible piece had to include some reference to pottery. Winners were given a rosette ribbon indicating their placement and a piece of collectable piece of pottery donated by the museum. First place winners were given a teapot made by Hartstone pottery, second and third place winners were awarded a numbered McCoy inspired purse bank and those artists honorably mentioned were given a collectable museum tote featuring the winning painting entry from last year’s contest by Kathy Jenkins.
First place in the Mixed Media division was Barb Murphy White, second place went to Janet Sowers and third place was taken home by Sue Hall. The honorable mention collectable tote bag was awarded to Gloria Gross.
In the Pottery division, newcomer Barbara Gilkerson from Bremen was the first place winner with a raku vase enhanced with cut out leaves. “What a nice event.” Gilreason said. “I’m really a water color painter, this is the first contest I’ve entered with my ceramics.” Anita Gladman won second place in the pottery division with Arthur Kettner taking third.
Carol Smith won first place in the Painting division with Gary Graham taking second and Norma LaVack placing third. Honorable mention went to Vincent Gebhart.
The writing division was added four years ago after the formation of the Pen & Quill Writer’s Guild. This year’s first place winner was Katherine Reichley. Heidi During Heiby took second place with Summer Clark a close third and Rita Smith the recipient of honorable mention. Heidi, Summer and Rita are all members of the Y-City Writer’s Group. This is only contest Heidi has entered in over a year. “I didn’t know what to expect from this event but I was pleasantly surprised.” Heidi said. “It was so comfortable with the music and snacks, really nice to spend an afternoon with like-minded people.”
The Theme is Pottery show is held on the second Saturday of September every year. Entries must be registered with the museum before the end of August. Next year the contest will expand to include flower arranging in ceramic vessels. Art Council President, Alma Hoopes, encourages all painters, potters, writers, artists and gardeners to save those pieces they create throughout the year for entry into the 2010 Theme is Pottery art show.

From Behind the Scenes
The Artist Colony of Zanesville welcomes an artistic debut to October’s First Friday Gallery Hop. Better known for her work with Zanesville Community Theatre and the ZCT Annual Angel Tree Benefit, Shelley Tolliver now finds herself in a different position – center stage.
More comfortable celebrating the art and effort of others, Shelley seems to be at a loss of words when talking about herself. “I doodle” she states. “The term “artist” is intimidating.” Often she can be found with a pencil in hand quickly sketching people, landscapes and animals. Later, at home in her studio (crafted and customized by her husband Richard) she’ll tinker away experimenting with colored pencils, pastels and most recently, paints and watercolors. Her current project is illustrating pictures to coincide with the short story her husband wrote called “The Cowboy”. They are hoping to publish a coffee table book in time for Christmas.
Her artistic debut will feature many of her holiday illustrations as well as personal favorites. “Gallery Hoppers will be the first to catch a glimpse of my work. I’m very excited!..but I have lots of butterflies, too.” She states with a smile. Her work will be featured at the Rambo Memorial Health Center which is now located on 711 Main Street, in Zanesville. Ditty’s Downtown Deli on South 4th Street will also feature her theatrical contributions from program art to t-shirts as well as her seldom seen sketch work for theatrical concepts.
On top of readying for her artistic debut, she and her husband, Rich, are gearing up for their Annual Angel Tree Benefit which they create, produce and direct with all proceeds going to Zanesville’s Salvation Army. (Auditions are October 4 &5 at ZCT at 7:00 pm) This will be year 19 for the ZCT Annual Angel Tree Benefit. “It’s amazing” states Shelley, “People can come together and leave as friends…friends who have made a difference in the lives of others. I am honored and humbled to be a part of this yearly tradition in giving. I am very lucky to live in such a supportive community.”
When asked to share a little about herself, she hesitates. “My life is really no different than others as everyone has their struggles. I got my love of art from my folks. My mother could draw like a dream! She, my sister and I would sit and draw for hours. Those were great times. My Dad would tell traditional nursery rhymes to my sister and me in the most dramatic of ways. I had a very lucky childhood even though my Mom passed away when I was only 13. Over two years before she was told she only had 6 months to live. I learned a lot from her struggles and her faith. Her determination and kind, hopeful spirit really inspired me. I am nearly 40 and I miss her all the time.” With a pause and a glance Shelley continues, “But look at me now! Can you believe I am a “Featured Artist”? I feel good fortune continues to smile on me as I have a wonderful life with a fantastic husband who is not afraid to have a good time or help others in need. He also “gets me”. We are quite the pair.” With a smile she states “Now if I could only find that dream job where I can help others full time…”
Shelley’s work can be seen at the Rambo Memorial Health Center where works of colored pencil, pencil and some paint can be seen and even purchased. Her focus of choice is people. Her style is evolving and changing but she states “I’m enjoying the ride.”
Steve Spires will be providing the entertainment at Rambo Memorial Health Center. Her theatrical work at Ditty’s will be a range from Shakespearian to comedies as well as preliminary sketches for various plays and events.
As a ‘Thank You” to Gallery Hoppers, Rambo Health Center will be offering free flu shots to folks of Muskingum County. Out of town hoppers can purchase a flu shot for $15. They are very excited to participate in the success of the downtown event!
