December is our annual Holiday Show and Sale, along with several fundraisers including our nut and candy sale, and our Sauders sale which includes jams and jellies, and beef and noodle and chicken and noodle kits.

In November, our show was our Call for Artists Project with the Henry County Hospital. The hospital selected several images for display in the newly renovated hospital. Among those selected were images by Art Shumaker, Melissa Harding, Shannon McDougle, Ed Pepper, Mary Fran Meekison, Lew Bechtol and Carol and Andy Small.

October was our Photography Show. Our jurors were Ruth Foote and Margaret Lockwood-Lass from the Photography Department at Owens College. We also hosted a book signing with Jim Mollenkopf, a Toledo author who has his history books for sale in the center.
