Greetings, Readers!

Interesting weather we've been having recently. I hope none of you were caught out in Pullman's now infamous hailstorm earlier today. It looks like it's blown over, and the sun even is shining on Main Street at the moment. Hopefully, this is a sign of better things to come!

Artist Jan L. Kirchhoff will have a gallery display, entitled A Visual Experience into the Spirit of Powwow. The gallery will be open daily between June 14th and 17th, from the hours of 10:00am until 5:00pm. The exhibit is at the Lewis-Clark State College Student Union Building.

The Artwalk is nearly upon us! Book People of Moscow is proud to host the Million Bear Project, a collaboration between Jeanne Leffingwell and Moscow High School and McDonald Elementary School students. Our opening reception will be June 16th from 4:00 - 7:00pm, and the art will be viewable at any time during our store hours, which are 9:00am - 8:00pm, seven days a week! We hope you will take some time to come by and admire the art, and maybe even do the Art Walk!

Rendezvous In The Park is coming to town! And Book People is selling buttons! $32 gets you a snappy button which also counts as a pass to all four days! Or, if you prefer individual days, you can get tickets online at the Rendezvous website at www.moscowmusic.com. Thursday, July 20th is World Beat Rock, then Friday is Blues Night, Saturday is Latin Groove, and Sunday is Classical Afternoon.

There are far too many excellent acts to list them all here, Readers, I will say that this year looks like a blast! Wallace and Gromit, Curse of the Were-Rabbit will be playing at the Kenworthy June 28th at 1:00pm. However, as sponsors, we are also allowed to attend the night showing. And we are allowed to bring guests! I think you know where we are going with this, Readers. If you bring a printed page of this newsletter (or any of our newsletters between now and the 28th), we will consider it your ticket to the night showing! More information on this extra-special event will be forthcoming, I promise.

Speaking of better things, Readers, there is a Farm Fair at MaryJanesFarm! This event takes place July 1 and 2, from 10:00am - 4:00pm. The event will include, among other things, Antiques, Farm Collectibles, Live Music, Yummy Food, and of course Fun & Games. I don't think I have to tell you that this will be great fun, Readers. If you'd like to know more, however, you can check out the website at www.maryjanesfarm.org, or give them a call at 208-882-6819.
