The works of five Greeley artists are featured in this year’s Western Spirit Art Show and Sale in Cheyenne.
More than 100 Western artists will be in the exhibit at Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum, which will have its opening reception March 1. Three hundred works of original Western art will be in the show.
The five artists from Greeley are Shirley Lorenz, Judy Sprague, Colette Pitcher, Clifford Bailey and Cheryl Bailey.
Lorenz’s work will be in the show for the fourth year in a row. She said the reception is reason enough to attend the show.
“It’s a wonderful Western party,” Lorenz said. “I love the theme.”
Bailey is displaying his art in the show for the second time.
“It’s a well-organized show,” Bailey said. “There are a lot of good artists.”
The March 1 reception will open to the general public at 5:30 p.m. with food provided by the Outback Steakhouse and an open bar. The live music will be provided by Chugwater Philharmonic String Quartet.
A special feature is the Vandewark Miniature Art exhibit. The sale of miniatures will begin at 5 p.m. for museum members. At 7 p.m. a “Quick Draw” is scheduled with a live auction and then an awards ceremony.
Tickets are $25 for museum members and $30 for nonmembers. For information call Kristen Ruck at (307) 778-7289 or visit ww.oldwestmuseum.org.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
