At a recent Rotary Club meeting, we were introduced to the Creston Valley Public Art Connection, a group of local residents bringing sculpture to public spaces in Creston. During their tax;k with our membership, they spoke about the value of Public Art. I'm going to shamelessly plagiarize a section ...

So....., I've been missing my regular dose of Newfoundland music ever since the CJYQ stream switched to country music from a rotation of Newfoundland Traditional music.

I was recently gifted a Philips Hue starter kit and have spent the past few days setting it up and learning more about it.
