The Arts Project of Cherry Grove (APCG), founded in 1948, held its 60th annual Art Show, at the Community House, on July 26 and 27.

Homecoming Queen Margo cut the ribbon at noon on the first day to open the show officially and awarded her Queen's Choice ribbon to John Mansueto for his painting "After Storm Dunes," depicting a view from the Sunken Forest. Margo's mate, APCG President Michael Coffindaffer, presented the President's Choice ribbon to an "untitled" painting by Cathy Eckdahl, who described her work as an "abstraction of language and nature together."

Photographs, jewelry and crafts were displayed in addition to paintings. Lorraine Michels showed off her recent Fourth of July Invasion of the Pines photo, "The Kiss," of Coco and Margo. Gimmi Hoffa exhibited his Invasion photos and Warren Boyd Wexler, his nature photos.
