A few words about the Annual Stegner DinnerAnd speaking of Bob Milne last year’s Stegner Dinner featured performer, Th e Eastend Arts Council is presenting Th e Silver Screen Scoundrels for this year’s concert happening on March 8th. Tickets are on sale now. I can still vividly recall the infectious and exuberant energy of his performance and can’t wait for his concert for our 100th.Th is wonderful tradition is always the highlight of this time of year in Eastend. It’s one of the key events which lucky locals are so fortunate to experience and one that shouldn’t be taken for granted. It takes a lot of eff ort and dedication by the the wonderful Arts Council to arrange these treats for us, and we don’t even have to drive out of town to get there!

MID WINTER ICE BREAKER SHOW

One Night Only

Sean Hogan Winter 2014 Tour

Coming Full Circle: A Retrospective Exhibition of Alice Hanlin’s Art work.Article by Trea Jensen and Alice Hanlin

Th e month of March Th e Artisans Guild of Eastend and Surrounding areas features the artwork of Alice Hanlin. Th e exhibition will feature work which she has created since 1946 to present day. Alice’s work will show the journey she has been on since she was a child, the wonder and the observation of her environment, putting it down on paper and canvas, using diff erent media to communicate what she sees and feels. Th is exhibition contains examples of art work from diff erent stages, depicting her life long passion for art. Returning home to her roots, in the SW Corner of Saskatchewan, there has been an emotional realization in recognizing the things Alice has experienced before. Many of these returning circles are depicted in her artwork that will be on display at the A.G.E.S Gallery located in the Eastend Library, Eastend SK.

Th e Show will run from February 28 – March 29 2014. Please join Alice to hear of her journey as an artist at the Artist Reception February 28 at 7pm at the Eastend Library. Refreshments will be served!

Th e following is narrated by Alice HanlinTen years ago in 2004 in an art workshop in San Miguel de Allende Mexico, I became aware of the presence of circles. A circle is a symbol of so many things: changing seasons, day and night, cycles that repeat. Circles are everywhere. Later that same year, (not an Eastend resident yet) I was given the opportunity to spend 3 weeks in the Stegner House in Eastend. Determined to become immersed in community culture and activities, my husband John and I went to the Cowboy Poetry Festival in Maple Creek. I felt like a foreigner.……….until I looked at a Maple Creek History book on a display table and saw a photograph of myself as a baby in my father’s arms. Th is poem refl ects a circle that I recognized then.‘ Roots’ Returning to roots… Another circle…one a bit unfamiliar. I have almost forgotten My early years In Cowboy Country….. Merry Flat Battle Creek Fort Walsh The Coalmine… Seeing my baby picture In the Maple Creek History book Has made me realize the truth That this is a place of my roots.

by Alice Hanlin Sept 18 2004

Group will be featured!
