New display at City Hall
Butterflies in Flight, shadow boxes and African themed art, creations by artist Louise Shields, are currently on display in the Gilroy City Hall Gallery. The unique pieces are not only attractively displayed but I've been told by some of the ladies who work at City Hall that Louise's art makes them happy.
What’s going on with the GPAC, is public being heard?
Everybody makes mistakes. The General Plan Advisory Committee (GPAC) made a whopper, completely ignoring the very public input that they asked for. We should be shocked, offended and outraged.
GETTING OUT: Four hikes for the holiday season
The holidays are at hand. The joy and festivities of the season reach a fever pitch as family and friends begin to arrive for their annual visit. If you recall, it was about day two or three of their visits last year before the walls of your house appeared to be closing in. Remember? At the same time, you felt a slight rush of anxiety and an unusually rapid heart rate.
August is full of art-related entertainment
Do you know that you can attend a free movie this month? Sponsored by the City of Gilroy, Gilroy Arts and Culture Commission, the Gilroy Public Art Committee and the Gilroy Arts Alliance, the event will be held Thursday on the lawn at the Gilroy Center for the Arts, 7341 Monterey St. The classic, G-rated comedy “The Love Bug” will be the feature film and special reserved parking is available for everyone who arrives in a Volkswagen Bug. Before the feature begins there will be a premier showing of “The Lazy Song,” a short movie filmed in Gilroy and performed by Gilroy youth. The movie begins at dusk but the grounds open at 8:30 p.m. for folks to secure a place on the lawn. Bring your blankets and chairs, maybe get your block, your church group, craft group, scout group, family and friends to come along and enjoy a free movie under the stars. Concessions available; alcoholic beverages are not allowed. The event will end by 10:30 p.m. I look forward to seeing you there.
