Until Next Year...

Cheers to everyone behind Slow Food Cycle Sunday. A heartfelt thank you to all the organizers, farms, volunteers and cyclists for another successful event. 4,000 people came to our lovely valley to enjoy everything that Pemberton has to offer. We had an amazing time and are already looking forward to next year!

Until then... (August 19, 2012)

We do have a handful of SFCS merchandise on hand if you're interested. We find they make great gifts as it is a reflection of Pemberton. We are selling the remaining items at cost so stop by and stock up on SFCS liberty water bottles at $12 each, trucker hats $10 and stickers $2!

Featured Artist: Chaucer Silverson

We are excited to introduce Chaucer Silverson to you.

Chaucer is an amazing watercolor and acrylic painter living in Bozeman, Montana. His art includes abstract work and landscapes and is currently featured upon our walls.

 

Recently he created a campaign at www.kickstarter.com to fulfill the dream of pursuing his series of paintings titled "Moments of Insight", document the work, the concepts, and publish a catalog to share with backers and promote his art. His campaign was successful! He can now put down the hammer and pick up the brushes and get busy on his portfolio. Congrats Chaucer! May your dreams be as big as the ocean and the waves take you where you want to be.


This is the video behind his campaign:


More of Chaucer's work can be found on his website:
