Now collecting images for the new footprint montage,
Cathartic Heeling. It's easy to participate... trace your
feet on white paper. On one image, print a trait that you'd like to
eliminate in your life; on the other, something you want to
achieve or honor. Add a bit of artwork and you're done!
Send your images, and you'll be included in
the new montage.




Everyone is invited to join us at the Davis Family YMCA
on Saturday, October 9th for An Afternoon of the Arts.
Live music, artists-at-work, poetry readings,
dance performances, kids' crafts and more!

Visit the Fine Arts Building at the Canfield Fair to see
Canfield Fair Gothic, a banner created by Y staff and members.
While you're there, don't forget to have your picture taken
for inclusion in next year's Faces of the Fair montage.

During week 7 of Camp Curiosity, campers were
challenged to make a rooster for the Canfield Fair.
The criteria was that they could only use cast off
Christmas decorations... a old tree, a large candy cane,
a silk poinsettia, red beads, garland, and a yellow
ornament. After drawing their own rendition of the
Christmas Re-Rooster, they then created pine cone
bird feeders to add to the rooster.
The finished sculpture will reside at the Y
until Sept, when it will travel to the Canfield Fair.

Another session completed with some wonderful artwork now hanging at the GATY. Earlier in the session, we had a mini reunion, when Tre Smaroff, now living in Boston, paid us a visit.
