Tuesday March 26 Dessert Potluck at Larson Gallery with Ken ”Casey” Stenehjem, the Puppet Man-Please join us 6:30-8:00 pm and enjoy Ken “Casey” Stenehjem’s passion for puppets! He has been a puppet fancier and collector since he was a 4th grader in Colville Public schools. He has studied with puppet geniuses, taught puppet classes, and performed with the Yakima Symphony. Casey has 950 puppets in his collection (from 3” to 8 feet tall) and will accompany himself with around 25 puppets at the potluck, enabling him to show construction techniques, various kinds, and examples from his student classes. The puppets will be passed around the group so attendees can try them on, manipulate them, give them voice.

Join us for a wonderful evening of delight and learning! Bring fruit or dessert to share (keep it simple), or just come and enjoy coffee, tea, or buy yourself a class of wine and benefit the Larson Gallery.

A Walk or a stroll is walk or a stroll or is it?
We’ve been told about the physical benefits of walking – losing weight, lowering blood pressure, reducing anxiety, improving conditioning etc., but YSNN FRIDAY WALKS provide not only that, but much more. It’s the touchstone, the “place” we meet, and for most of us who have been participating for the last three years it’s where we check in with friends. Some of us walk solo, some of us like to walk with a group or with a partner who goes our speed/pace. It’s the “place” where everybody knows your name. Join us Fridays at 10am (new starting time in November ) at Kissel Park, 3000 W. Mead. (509) 853-1917
