Super Snow!

The Super Snow of February 2010 will be remembered!  The more than 20 inches of snow blanketing the area was a picture postcard scene which at once was a joy to behold, soon followed by the reality of creating a mountain of work for many.  Happy were the kids for the cancellation of schools.  Happy were the snow removal businesses whose plows were put into overdrive.  Happy were the residents of Bellevue for constant clearing of streets thanks to the dedicated DPW crew!

The initial shock of the overwhelming task of clearing even a path was quickly surpassed by the community spirit which prevailed throughout the ordeal.  The sight of neighbors on the streets, assisting neighbors with snow removal from vehicles, parking spaces and the public sidewalks was a rewarding experience.  It was pure delight!   We are truly blessed that Bellevue is the kind of place where "community" comes first!

The Art of Michael Gaskill

Matthews Arts hosted this First Friday artist's reception event showcasing the Art of Michael Gaskill on February 5, 2010.  The original art presented in several different mediums illustrates the broad range of talent of this emerging artist.  The works installed for this exhibit remain on display through February 27.

The monthly receptions are a great opportunity to socialize with the artist in residence and discuss the various techniques.
