SUMMARY:Earth Day Farm Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Come out to Little Creek Alpacas on Sat.\, April 20th from 1pm-5pm for a fun afternoon celebrating nature\, the Earth\, alpacas\, and art! Take a hike around the pond\, go fishing\, collect rocks & sticks\, paint rocks\, build a fairy hut\, play in the sand\, feed the alpacas\, and more! Bring a cooler and have an alpaca picnic. It’s a day to have fun around the farm and immerse yourself in nature and art. The farm store will be open in the red shelter if you need any alpaca products. Hickry Ridge Homestead will be coming out with all her fiber goodies\, and spinning yarn with her angora rabbit. She’ll have drop spindles for sale too\, and can even show you how to use one.\nTickets are $40 per vehicle and limited to 20 vehicles. You must purchase a ticket ahead of time to attend. https://square.link/u/x3q4Fr9W\nCarpool to save money\, gas\, and emit less emissions. Bring your own food & drinks. No pets\, no smoking\, no chasing the alpacas. Price of ticket includes admission for everyone in your vehicle\, a cup of grain for each person to feed the alpacas with\, and free access to the painting rocks station & build your own fairy hut station. Please note\, it’s your job to find the materials in nature to build with (sticks\, rocks\, leaves\, feathers\, whatever your heart fancies)\, we’ll have glue guns\, twine\, yarn\, a small drill\, and other things to help you build with. A handicap accessible port-a-potty will be available.\nThis fun Earth Day event is also a fundraiser for our farm to repair Sunny Beach after the drought last year\, and to run rural water to our alpaca barns since our well pump broke. I’m currently hauling 64 gallons of water daily from our house to the barn for all the alpacas.

SUMMARY:Fish Days at Farm King!
DESCRIPTION:We will be receiving your fish orders from local fishery Nemo Bait and Fisheries! Orders must be submitted to your store pick-up location at least two days in advance of delivery date (14 Days prior if ordering Grass Carp at Macomb or Canton). The day of fish pickup you must bring large garbage cans or stock tanks with fresh pond or lake water. Be sure not to use tap water or city water\, as the chlorine will kill the fish. Five gallon buckets may be used on small Catfish\, Bass or Bluegill at the rate of 25-35 fish per bucket. When you get the fish to their final destination\, it is best to acclimate the fish to your pond temperature slowly rather than dumping them in. Float the bucket or garbage can in the pond and mix the water slowly for the next few minutes before releasing your fish. The fish need to be stocked in your pond as soon as possible after they are picked up. The longer the fish are in a non-oxygenated container the more death loss will occur.

SUMMARY:Jason Peot & Perry Pollock Exhibition\, "Considerations"
DESCRIPTION:Chicago area artists Jason Peot and Perry Pollock will have their two-person exhibition\, “Considerations”\, on display February 20 through March 21 at the Western Illinois University Art Gallery. \nA closing reception for the artists will be held Thursday\, March 21\, 4:30-6:00 p.m. The artists will speak about their work at 5:00 pm. \nJason Peot and Perry Pollock have been faculty colleagues for over twenty years in the Art and Design Department at Harper College in Palatine\, IL—one of the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Peot oversees the design and sculpture curriculum and Pollock\, the drawing and painting curriculum. Both artists work in a non-representational mode and emphasize meticulous attention to design and craft. There is an austerity and geometry that binds their work\, but their conceptual intentions offer very different considerations. \nThe works in this exhibition are juxtaposed to highlight both artists’ shared and contrasting approaches to art making. Pollock’s minimalist objects are designed independent of their surroundings. In contrast\, Peot’s work directly references it’s environment or location. The work in this two-person exhibition focuses on these similarities and differences to offer viewers a unique experience.
