May is a month of Celebrating the Arts. well.. it IS an artist community. i was telling friends about attending the Artrageous Parade downtown on saturday. they ALL asked if i have picutres as crazy as the Easter guys! YES, i DO! and i hope you'll have as much fun looking at them as i did being there! i took over 50 pictures. but don't worry, i won't put them all up ; )
this was our first vantage point. at the Main crossroad through old town Eureka.. looking uphill towards the
Flat Iron Building and down towards Basin Springs Park.There's an ampitheatre there.. art benches. .

almost always something going on, even if it is a guy playing guitar...
the police were the first to come down the hill, making sure the way was clear before the festivities began. behind the police car, you can see the leaders of the parade.:: The Art Colony..a recent addition to our little town. J.D. and Kathy Harris are the propietors. The Art Colony was built single handedly by J.D. He is an amazing sculptor, welder, jack of ALL trades and really one of the coolest guys to be around. he has built a "colony' with artist studios, for those who need a place to hang out and paint. AND they have LOTs festivities beginning!!


Their part of the parade started with the banner, "Kindle the Creative Fire" which is what this town is ALL about.. no matter what your spark may be.


and here comes J.D. on something he concoted.. i'll hafta ask him about it ; )

i've got more pics to come... stayed tuned.. the best is yet to come!!
