Letters to the Editor
Wild Rye
Hello, friends of my beadshop,
After a second look at what
my husband and I were plan
ning, moving the beadshop, we
prayed for direction, and we are
not going to be closing. We will
be staying at the present loca
tion we are at and continuing on.
We believe this is God-driven
and will continue on in His di
rection. We feel that the Wild
Rye Bead Gallery serves a pur
pose in the community for the
people to be able to come to fel
lowship, create and expand their
artist expression, and just have
a place to have a cup of coffee.
I thank you all for your patience
and presence at the Wild Rye
Bead Gallery. Please plan to
come and celebrate our second
anniversary the week of Feb. 3.
Thank you all, Brett and Brigette
Whipple, Wild Rye Bead Gal
lery. 553-1270.
