La Conner Weekly News - Your independent hometown award-winning newspaper

We very much appreciate the Weekly News coverage of our celebration of our book, “The Barn Shows Book 1987-2003.” As the paper reported, “Great to have hundreds of supportive friends, colleagues and artists out Saturday to celebrate ‘The Barn Shows Book’ being done and available.”

Signing well over two hundred books in one day is very gratifying. This spectacular event so reminded me (Lavone) of those seventeen years of Barn Shows. What an era that was. This Valley’s love and support of art and artists is unbelievable. THANK YOU SKAGIT VALLEY!!

And, Kevin Paul made the day with his beautiful blessing.

By Monday we had sold all three hundred books we had here and had to go to our printing company, Lithocraft for more.

“The Barn Show Book” is available at MoNA (Museum of Northwest Art,) Skagit County Historical Museum, Seaport Books in La Conner and Perry and Carlson Gallery in Mount Vernon. To order a book you can send your info to [email protected]. - Lavone Newell-Reim, Dick Reim and
