Hello, and Happy Friday!


Join us this month as we showcase a vibrant collection from Evolving in Watercolor, a talented group of artists who work with Ann Kremer. For over ten years, these creatives have gathered at Sheep Hill to share their passion for watercolor, exchanging techniques, insights, and encouragement along the way. Their paintings will be on display on our walls all month, so we invite you to come by and check them out! 


Artists exhibiting their work include Linda Wagner, Ali Edelstein, Gwen Steege, Elizabeth Whateley, Judy Wright, Deborah S. Gordon, Margaret Weinland, and Diana Elvin.

Not a problem as we’ve also added a geocaching backpack to our Thingdom - our lending library of things! This backpack is packed with everything you need for your geocaching excursions.


We’ve also recently added many other exciting items to the Thingdom. From outdoor gear to creative supplies and STEAM kits, there’s something for everyone to explore.
