“If you are a fan of “Who’s Line Is It Anyway”, or “Comedy Sportz” you are in for the ride of your life! This is a full contact improv comedy event where the audience is the judge as two teams fight for survival on the octagon stage. A night of funny-bone crushing comedy, served up hot for audiences of all ages.”

CAB Community Arts Base River Falls, WI 2015 SPRING ARTS GALA
CAB has been a force in River Falls for 20 years. So, mark your calendar for May 2 and let’s celebrate the 2015 Spring Arts GALA!! Regulars at the GALA know it’s where we find excellent music, elegant hors d’oeuvres, friendly, delightful people eager to buy art, raffles of Art Works, dancing and general merriment. The GALA is CAB’s way to showcase local artists—such as you– while raising operating funds. Last year, the 2014 GALA drew record crowds and sold more art than ever before. That means that the artists who chose to receive 60% of the sale price made more money. AND those who donated their works to CAB made greater charitable gifts.

Borner Farm and the Websters are significant supporters of the Hastings Prescott Area Arts Council. Please take a moment to consider supporting this project with them April 6th or at least pass this information to those you know would have an interest. Thank You.
Special Use Permit Hearing
“Hello friends, On April 6th at 6:30 the Borner staff and I will be at a hearing of the Prescott Planning Commission at City Hall for a Special Use Permit to continue the activities of the Borner Farm Project.
The approval or denial of this permit will determine the viability and sustainability of the Borner Farm Project going forward.
I am writing today to ask for your show of support by attending the meeting, as well as ask that you forward this email to anyone who would want the Borner Farm Project to continue.
Eight years ago, when I first talked with Virginia Klecker about using her farm as a community garden, I had a vague idea of hopefully preserving a very beautiful piece of property right in the center of this community. From that simple idea, the Borner Farm Project has grown into something of which I am very proud and that I hope will continue for many years to come. We’ve had interns from 12 states and 1 country, pot lucks, movies on the barn, hootenannies, campfires, classes and pizza nights. And all along the way, we’ve planted and harvested an amazing amount of fresh and local fruits and vegetables for our community to eat.
The Planning Commission approval is an important step forward for the Borner Farm Project. Please join me in your support on April 6th at the meeting and forward this post to those who support us. If you can’t attend, please consider showing your support by writing a brief letter or email to the folks at city hall.
Thank you!! Diane Webster”
