JOHN DAY – Skies
were blue last Saturday
with perfect weather for
an outdoor art show.
Artist and leather
craftsman Clair Kehr-
berg of John Day helped
organize the event held
at the Grant County
Chamber of Commerce
in John Day.
“Overall we were
pleased with the result,”
she said. “A lot of peo-
ple stopped by, and there
were some really pretty
paintings there.”
Volunteer
Patricia
Baehr-Ross said this is
the first time their loose-
knit group of artists has
held an outdoor art exhi-
bition.
“We’re testing the
waters for the summer
months,” she said.
She added it worked
well having the Satur-
day Farmers Market
across the street.
“The people who
showed up to see it en-
joyed it,” she said.
An art walk is next
on their list of sum-
mer planning, in the
works.
The artists’ next
monthly meeting is set
for 11 a.m. Thursday,
July 9, at Station 62’s
coffee shop in Can-
yon City, and other
artists are welcome to
join them, Baehr-Ross
said.

tion, contact Baehr-
Ross at 541-932-4856.

Join Our Team!
Some Western regions are epicenters of change. Our beautiful Oregon community is one of
those. The territory served by the Blue Mountain Eagle frequently juggles forest health,
logging, public lands grazing, water supply, wildlife habitat improvements and wildfire
resilience.
For a journalist who thrives on the new story of the West, becoming Editor of the Eagle is an
excellent opportunity. Our work place offers year-round recreational opportunities, including
backpacking, camping, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and horseback riding.
Part of a family-owned Oregon media company, the Blue Mountain Eagle is located in John
Day, Oregon, just 3 hours from Bend and Pendleton. There is a small-town lifestyle and the
news opportunities are varied and challenging. The community is at the center of an evolving
natural resource restoration economy, which gains statewide and even national attention.
