NOTE FROM PATSY (Paint Out Organizer):
Let’s plan for August 28th. Maybe ask everyone if they’d like to have a little picnic afterwards, since there really is nowhere there to eat. There is only one restaurant there and it is closed on Sundays to the best of my knowledge. We could each bring a little something to share or bring our own individual brown-bag meals. Just need to let me know the count, and I’ll try to have water like Dean did last time since the weather is so hot. I haven’t been to Pollocksville yet, but will do so this week most likely Tuesday. The wildlife area is a right turn just before the bridge there in Pollocksville. I believe there is plenty of parking, and there is a covered picnic area with 2-4 tables. Not far from it is T-shaped pier and there are a few large shade trees in the parking lot. It’s not a large area, but I believe large enough to accommodate us.

OOPS July Paint Out set for July 24, 2011 with COOKOUT... YUMMY!
WHAT: OOPS! July 2011 Paint Out
WHEN: Sunday, July 24, 2011 from 1pm (or earlier) until ... Food @ 5pm.
NOTE FROM DEAN (Paint Out Organizer):
As you know it is my turn to pick the place to paint. I thought we could all enjoy the "White Oak River Campground" ( http://www.whiteoakrivercampground.com/index.html ). If you go to the link you can see it is very easy to find. It is just about 1 mile south of Maysville on highway 17. There are plenty of river views along with lakes scenes, not to mention typical camping scenes to paint. This will be on Sunday the 24th of July. This is usually a pay to use campground but they offer to let us in to paint for free. I also reserved the picnic area because I would like to treat everyone to hamburgers and hotdogs around 5pm. If anyone would like to chip in it will be $2.00 a person to rent the picnic area but they DO NOT HAVE TO. I can cover it. I think it would be great to fellowship over food and talk about our paintings. Sound good to you? Tell everyone their families are invited. Please have them email me at dcr@ec.rr.com to let me know how many they may be bringing so I can have enough food.
