Auction Alert!

I know, I knowiknowiknowiknow . . .

I know!  Last year,  when I invited all you Leftover participants to make 14 prints, I said  the 14th print of your edition would be used to raise funds for  folks who don't have the benefit of wondering what to do with leftovers.   And I really, and truly, thought that by early November 2011 I would be able to say that funds raised from the sale of the prints would be in the hands of the folks that make sure that happens.

To be honest, I also thought that Wingtip Press would be in a commercial space by now and we would have hosted this event.  But that just wasn't meant to be. HOWEVER, the GOOD news is, we found a venue that is very excited to be our host for this event.  So stand by as the gay-la-la is unfolding as I write:  We're planning a silent auction at THEE local brew pub!  They serve up great food, great fun and stellar brews - and they LOVE art!!  So we'll be raising  funds to do the best we can to make a difference and spread the Leftover Love.

Stay tuned!

On the Road Again

The Leftovers are on the road again, headed west from Wisconsin.   Watch for them along the way through Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and back to Boise.  And don't worry, they'll stay fresh on this reefer!

That time again?

Almost!   We're just about a month away before we really have to start thinking about Leftovers III.   Let's see, that's time for everyone to be in their respective places for Thanksgiving dinner.  THEN, we can start thinking about Leftovers

I'll be back with the details once the tupperware, baggies, saran wrap and foil come out.

See ya soon!

The Holman Kornfest

"Where," Dwight asked, "is the Holman Kornfest?"

"Funny, you should ask," Gretchen said, as she carefully arranged the assortment of leftovers for the upcoming banquet.

"Does it have anything to do with the Beer, Wine or Cheese Festival? Or Dairy Days?  Yes, that's it, Dairy Days!   I remember having creamed corn when I was a kid," Dwight recollected.

"Oh!" Gretchen smiled, her lips forming an upturned crescent moon, her eyes slowly closing as she luxuriated in her recollection of  the simple pleasure of the delicious burst of freshly shucked  corn and rich, warm, sweet cream butter. "The HOLMAN KORNFest!  It's all coming back! And who could forget  Weinerfest and Cranberry Fest and, OMG, the Sparta Butterfest?" she exclaimed.  "What I wouldn't give to be back  in LaCrosse, Wisconsin."

Well, to tell  the truth, I don't know if Dwight or Gretchen will make it back, but our Leftovers are going to take their rightful place in the land of Kornfest, Weinerfest, Cranberry Fest, Butterfest and Cheese, Beer and Wine Fest  at the University of Wisconsin -  La Crosse. In fact, we'll be packing  up  this magnificent moveable feast in the next few days to send them on their way.

So, if you've been dreaming of Leftovers from days past, then head to the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse for Leftover Fest!

We're Leftovers II and we're on our way to LaCrosse Wisconsin!

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven . . . you get the picture

All in the Family

Well, I didn't plan that - to end up having the last print be "All in the Family."   But that's how it wraps up,  with all the prints in the Leftover family.  Now, wouldn't it be just the real deal to sit down with your table mates?  I'd like that.

May you always have Leftovers and room at the table!
