Salida Chamber Calendar

Apogee Studio, the artwork studio of Fay Golson, will be closing soon. There will be an artwork sale with drastically reduced prices at the Salida Scout Hut on Friday, Feb 16, from 10am to 5 pm. Many sizes and price variations will be shown. Fay will be moving to Billings, Mt where she has delivered and sold her artwork to The Yellowstone Art Museum on several occasions. “I am saddened to leave Salida and its generous and warm population, my many friends, and the beautiful  surroundings. But time marches on. Please stop by Friday to see the artworks that are available or just to say hello/goodbye.
