Paynton artist Mariann Taubensee has been working hard to create wondrous and whimsical art pieces which are now on display at the ARC studio, 1106 - 101 St. North Battleford.
Her show, titled Re-Vision, is up until the end of March and features works from many disciplines including encaustic wax paintings, metal and glass sculptures, glass window and wall scenes and some innovative jewelry made from tire inner tubes and other re-claimed items. Mariann believes in keeping as much out of the landfill as possible and her show reflects those beliefs with a visual feast of colour and light. You can take in the exhibit during studio hours or at the opening night on Feb. 20 from 7 to 10 p.m.
Paynton Volunteer Fire Department is looking good with some recent improvements made by the volunteers. Now in their new building (the old RM shop), firefighters are excited to get the hall cleaned up and looking good for a pancake breakfast fundraiser scheduled for Saturday, Feb 13 at 9 a.m. CST.
BTR Industrial and Ag Ltd. is sponsoring the breakfast and will also have their mobile fire extinguisher unit on hand for anyone who needs to re-certify, re-fill or even purchase new extinguishers. All proceeds go to the Paynton volunteer firefighters’ fundraising efforts.
Come check out the paint job and new home for the trucks during the family day celebration which will also include lunch, horse and buggy rides, fun and activities in the gym put on by the village and RM councils. Wayne Penny will also be making an appearance to entertain with his songwriting, singing and guitar skills.
