September 15 OPA Paint Out, Hampshire, IL

The OPA is having a paint out this Saturday, and we are invited. Here are the details, provided by the host of the event. You can also find all of these details, along with a map, here. Click on events, then click your way through the site to find the OPA paint out, Illinois location.

Suzanne would like an idea of how many of us are going to be there, so if you can, send her an email. (She knows the group is heading out that way, just not how many of us there will be.)

This should be really good. Let's hope for good weather.

Please arrive by 9:00 a.m. if you would like a quick walk through of the property to see possible painting sites.

Restrooms are available in Suzanne’s home. She will provide coffee, something cool to drink, deli meat and rolls for sandwiches, but would welcome anyone bringing a dish to pass. Please RSVP to her directly, either by phone or e-mail, if you plan to attend and if you’re bringing a “goodie”.

Weather will determine your wardrobe, but Deep Woods Off or some insect repellent might be a good idea, even in September. Bring bottled water to have as you paint if you’d like.
