Our time at the Grand Valley Information Centre, Museum and Gallery

Mannie and I enjoyed the experience of the grand idea -a Community Information Centre, Museum and Gallery.  As this was a 150th Canada Birthday project for the town of Grand Valley funding ran out in December and was not renewed.  The Economic Development Committee will look at it further in relationship to its Tourism and Business potential.

Hopefully Mannie and I along with our Riverbend Artists' group will be part of any new endeavour.

The silver treads of the moon pick up coloration from the other colours in the image.
