Well if Hugh Edward Sanderfur would have been living today- he sure would have been proud. 010

Today I attended the art opening of “Disabling the Myth”.

What a great exhibit!  Susie Rideout you deserve nothing but praise for putting this together and working with these adults.

This is the most heart warming art exhibit that I go to every year!

You can read more about the exhibit from this Henderson Gleaner Article.

016 The exhibit is in the rotunda at the Henderson County Public Library till  April 2, 2009.

Geocaching- Kentucky Boi Travel Bug (TB50B3)

Posted on Written by

Back in early 2000 I started Geocaching it was like many new technological things and many people had never heard of it back then but now lots of people are enjoying Geocaching.  It is a great sport that involves travel, outdoors, exercise and use of computer/internet.geocache

We hid a Geocache on the property of our family owned bed and breakfast on July 6, 2003.  As of today River’s Railroad Cache has been found 218 times!  The cache is named after my nephew River Priest.  He continues to contribute to the success of the Geocache by checking on it frequently.

We have had a great time watching and talking to the people who find the Geocache. They have taken many pictures of our downtown.  Many people have just came to Henderson KY just to find this geocache.

kentuckyboi-20090228 This is too funny.  Back on November 14, 2002 I was vacationing in the Keys of Florida.  I hid in a very popular Geocache a travel bug called “Kentucky Boi”.  That travel bug along with the Barbie Head attached has traveled over 10,000 and is presently trying to make it back to Kentucky.    You might might be able to view the travel bug here but it might require you to be a member of Geocaching.com.

Henderson KY has several Geocaches.  One that is quite fun to find is very close to the caboose that is located in the back on the new Henderson Welcome center.  The name of that cache is called “Welcome to Henderson”.

Just this week I installed the Geocaching iPhone application.  More on what I think of that later.  So far it looks like another killer application for the iPhone.

Sister & River are you ready to go on a day long adventure Geocaching?  Perhaps Chicago on a train?

Have you ever been Geocaching?  Tell me about your adventure.

The Visual Arts in Henderson KY

Posted on Written by

One of the really interesting things about living in a small town as Henderson Kentucky is the importance we place on visual arts. We have a very active arts community both visually and performing.

One organization that I have been a part of for over 12 years is the Ohio Valley Art League.  Under the direction of Jule McClellan.

Jule is like the energizer bunny.  She never stops running!  We would not have the vibrant visual arts community in Henderson if it was not for people like Jule McClellan.

Just this week she went to Frankfort KY and received a Kentucky Arts Council grant for OVAL.

This weekend an exhibit opens at the First Methodist Church   called “The Art of Well-Being VII”.  This is a incredible exhibit encourages artist to “interpret well-being as he/she feels” in any medium.  Jule has worked with the organization of this show.

artofwellbingThe exhibit opens Sunday, February 15 at 3:00 pm.   A piano concert by Mary Ann McClure Blackwell and Jica Crafton at 3:30.  During intermission the art show winners will be announced.

What a great way to mix art, music, healthy living and spirituality in one experience.  My hat goes off to the organizers at First Methodist Church Henderson KY for hosting and organizing this fine exhibit of art.

What do you think of the visual arts in Henderson KY?   Have you ever attended a function of Ohio Valley Art League?
