On Tuesday, the museum hosted an art reception for the Canadian Middle School and High School students of the Wildcat Art Room. Art teacher Karol Ann Michelson greeted over 35 students, parents, teachers, and Canadian ISD leadership and proudly showed the different methods and designs created by the Wildcat Art Room. There were Huichol Yarn paintings, organic material tile mosaics, paper art inspired by Lee Gainer, and paintings and 3-D pieces made from recycled material. It was an amazing evening. Don’t worry if you missed the reception. The Wildcat Art Room exhibit will remain in our gallery room until September 24.

Canadian’s Lady Cat cross-country runners kicked off their season well, winning the Wellington meet on Saturday on the legs of first- and second-place finishers Konnar McClendon and Arionna Black. Elizabeth Guerrero was seventh overall, followed by Payton Lee in ninth, Ella Walser in 12th, and Brooklyn Beedy in 14th.

I love a good tamale and this recipe on Allrecipes.com website sounded easy and delicious. They used a cast-iron skillet that went from stovetop to oven, but mixture could easily be cooked on stove and transferred to baking dish if you do not have large ovenproof skillet. Enjoy!

To me, “the farm” has always meant the farm where my mother grew up, one of 11 children. Every book I ever read that was set on a farm, and many other books as well, all took place in my imagination at my mother’s family farm and the surrounding woods.
