A special Community Quilt Show will be in the Yale School Gym from 11am until 5pm. The show features the work of people living in the Yale, Cougar and Dubois Rd. areas. The art form of quilt making has been flourishing in the Lewis River region. If you live up river and you would like to exhibit a quilt, call Cheryl Collins, 247-6143, by Friday July 15th, to let her know the size of your piece. You may show something small or full size. Quilts must be picked up between 5:30 and 6:30pm the evening of the exhibition.

Please include a typed or printed paragraph with the name of quilt, the maker and the history, if relevant. Every effort will be made to respect the integrity of the quilts. Racks will be constructed ahead of time and people will always be present to watch the quilts. However, each artist accepts the risk of any soiling or damage.

Performance Art will begin at 1:00 pm with area children playing music in the Yale School library. The Lelooska Family will share a story and masked dance.
