Allison Grice's exhibit of photography and graphic design has opened at Quincy Gallery with a reception on March 2nd.
Ms Grice, a St Francis native, is well known here as an exceptionally talented artist with wide range of interests. Over the years, though, it is photography that has allowed her to share her heart.

Whether it's a rusty old pickup or wheat blowing in the breeze against a sunset, Ms Grice's photography shows her love of nature and history. She finds beauty in all she sees. You catch the excitement in her voice as she talks about her artistic works; an excitement that is evident in all she does. This, and just a touch of quirkiness, imparts a fresh energy that delights the eye both in her photography and her work in graphic design.
All are welcome to enjoy the exhibit at your leisure until April 29 at the Quincy Gallery. 109 North Quincy, Hours are Thursday and Friday 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. And Saturday 9:30 – 12:30 p.m.

Amendments to the Kansas amusement ride act which could affect carnival rides at the fair.
House Bill 2389 is scheduled to be heard, I think on Thursday and Friday in Topeka. This may or may not affect the carnival rides at the fair, but looks like it may. I would suggest people contact Representative Adam Smith and maybe e-mail any concerns, so this doesn't have a negative affect on the community.
