LA Arts – 30 Years! – What a great time we had in September. I have to admit it’s been awhile since I last stayed over night in Auburn. But after the Timpanic Steel Band with martinis under the tent, a wonderful presentation by the L/A Arts Summer Theatre cast of young actors from “Guys and Dolls” and dancing till after midnight with the Charles Brown Organization, I was ready for a great hotel room overlooking the falls.

The next morning, my wife Lyn and I took a stroll down to the arts space on the waterfront and had just enough time to see Beckie Conrad working on the finishing touches in her new shop, Rsen.

It wasn’t a week later that I had to meet a client in the southern part of the state. They suggested the larger city to the south and, as much as I enjoy Portland, the schedules were such that Auburn was just as convenient, and I was glad to be able to recommend the new Hilton.

Recently, we held our Creative Economy meeting at the Bates Mill Complex (mark May 6th and 7th on your calendar). We are even more assured the space will be perfect for this convening and the enthusiasm is building. Everyone in Lewiston and Auburn should be rightfully proud of the positive arts and culture growth in your communities.
