FIRST FRIDAY IN AUGUST CELEBRATES RIVER DAYS

August in Rising Sun epitomizes the lazy days of summer... live music from the Main Street Stage on the river front on Saturday nights, homemade ice cream, park benches, free boat hook ups, an eclectic array of dining options, and a free shuttle to the Grand Victoria Casino, golf course and hotel, featuring "Elvis" every weekend! Check out the website www.risingsunchamber.com for current events scheduled for August.

Every First Friday of the month, the Pendleton Art Center opens its doors for visitors and anyone interested in seeing artwork and meeting some talented artists. Our Rising Sun artists, photographers, sculptors, glass artisans, potters, and musicians invite you to come to their studios to see their works; or just come hang out for refreshments and some great music on a Friday night in Rising Sun along the Ohio River. From contemporary to realistic expressionism, our artists enjoy opening their studios to the general public on First Friday's and Second-Look Saturday's to show their wares.

Artists featured this month in the Pendleton Main Gallery are:
--Andrea Grimsley, Landscapes and Abstract Art, from Rising Sun, IN
--Joni Huber, Mixed Media, from West Harrison, IN
--Donald Niehaus, acrylic, watercolor and oil paintings, from Crestview Hills, KY
--Cheryl Reiniger, watercolorist from Lawrenceburg, IN
--Christine Shipley, Mixed Media, from Aurora, IN
--Marianne Wiggers, Watercolorist from Milan, IN

Entertainment will be provided by the Riverblend Barbership Quartet... Don Gray, Chuck Watson, Dutch Speidel and John Byerly were named the Seniors Quartet Champions for Ohio, West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania. Riverblend delights in entertaining audiences with their rich blend of elegant barbershop harmony.
