1st Thursday Program Hear ye! hear ye!, Come one and all to hear about the worlds largest art project being created by "Willow Bill" Goulardt. He will tell us about it at the January program and will demonstrate the building of a reindeer from willow sticks. Bill intends to place reindeer along the highway from Topaz Lake to Bordertown and for 22 miles of 395 through Carson City, where you can already see many of them along the roadway and on top of buildings. He has hundreds of helpers from local schools assisting him. He has been going into the schools and teaching children to assemble them using power tools and shears; then decorating them with Christmas lights. He says his goal is to "light up the darkness." For more information about the project visit www.willowbilll.com. The deer are a simple basic form leaving plenty of space for us to do some creative weaving. If there is enough interest he will do a class for us later in the spring. He was delighted to be contacted by GBB, so come to the January meeting and give him a hearty welcome. Sue Ann Monteleone who was scheduled to do a deer fetish for the January program has graciously agreed to do it at a later date. The program will be at the Larry D Johnson Community Center, 1200 12th Street, Sparks at 1:00 PM. See you there. 3rd Thursday Program Info: Class fee $15, materials $5.
