Fred Lawrenson
Fred Lawrenson, second from the right, is giving a gallery talk during the Friday opening for his show of Nature and Wildlife paintings at the Allegheny Artistry gallery. His talk covered what inspires him, how and where he does research, his “extreme realism” style, and the underlying abstract design of his compositions. This kind of interaction between viewers and the artist increases the understanding and appreciation of the artist’s work. You can see Lawrenson’s work at the Local Artist’s Co-Op/ Allegheny Artistry gallery through May 23. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Sat. 11-5:30.
Additional Giving Campaign sponsors will be acknowledged following the close of the drive, which is Monday, May 31, Memorial Day.

Memorabilia Collection
Local memorabilia from the "Charles Engstrom Collection" that was featured at the Youngsville Library "75th Anniversary" celebration remains at the library, thanks to the generosity of Nancy (Engstrom) Nelson. Residents are encouraged to stop in, sift through the memorabilia, and take a stroll down memory-lane. The winner of the "guess the coins" contest at the 75th Anniversary celebration was Helga Laibacher, who generously donated her winnings back to the library.
