Charlie Daniels Back at the Gallery!

Charlie Daniels is not slowing down! This fall, he came out with a great new book, “Let’s All Make the Day Count—the Everyday Wisdom of Charlie Daniels” and a new album, “Beau Weevils — Songs in the Key of E.”

Over 100 Ways to Keep Your Pants Up!

Our major focus for Gallery Walk is a great showing of Stanton Englehart’s paintings but something else came up that is just too good not share. 

We recently met a gentleman from the Colorado Front Range whose father had passed. It turns out that his father was an avid collection of American Indian belt buckles. He may have been a little more than avid!
