Concert attire needed

The new choir teacher, Bella Garcia y Lauer at both IRMS and CHS, is trying to outfit her singers in formal concert attire without excess expense and could use some help from the community with donations.

Solid black tops with no visible logos or accent colors. Polos, button ups and blouses are great. No crop tops or low cut. Solid black skirts or dresses that are knee length or longer. Solid black pants/trousers without visible logos. No leggings, jeans, or distressed looks.

October Leavenworth Library

Is getting into the spirit of October celebrations with an invitation to “BOOKTOBERFEST” in the Library. The purpose is to celebrate learning, creativity, and the bounties of our community. A month of art projects and contests are available to locals and visitors of all ages and abilities. Drop by the library in October to create a handmade book or journal. Enjoy helping or viewing the creation of a community art mosaic created by recent library doodlers. Enter the Arts & Literature contest, sponsored by the Leavenworth Friends of the Library, with top prizes in 3 age groups of gift certificates to our local independent A Book For All Seasons. BOOKTOBERFEST is free, family-friendly and fun for all ages.

Artist Dillon at the Library

From now through Nov 18  local artist Teara Dillon is having an art show in the Fireside Room at the Leavenworth Library. Teara creates in many different media and has a passion to teach others to explore their individual voice. Teara believes that sharing unique views creates diversity and allows us to celebrate our differences. She is inspired by bright colors, the human form, and nature. Impressionism is a favorite style of hers, with its loose, quick brush strokes, thick texture, and generous use of color.
