Saturday from 6- 8 p.m. we will host the opening of the 56th\u00a0Annual June Art Exhibit with a public reception at the Wassenberg Art Center. The exhibit runs through June 29. There will be approximately 100 pieces of artwork from regional and national artists on exhibit and for sale. Works by practicing professionals and amateurs that represent and communicate our cultural identity will be celebrated with a pulled pork barbeque from Collins Fine Foods, a wine and craft beer tasting, homemade potatoes, coleslaw and strawberry shortcake kabobs.<\/p>\n

Live music will be provided by the Reese Dailey Band.\u00a0Like the artists we represent, this band is top-notch. RDB, whose command of the stage is well known throughout Ohio, is a hands-down favorite at Lake Erie\u2019s Put-In-Bay. The band consists of Dailey, bass Dan Langguth, rhythm\/lead guitarist\/vocalist Mike Cleveland, and drummer Chuck Mauk. Both Cleveland and Mauk grew up in Bryan, Ohio. Together, these boys make up a pivotal group of American musicians whose uncompromising style firmly states their Erie-Midwest flatlands identity. Reese, a dynamic guitarist with a seemingly endless flow of lyrical leads combined with his deep, rich vocals is able to produce a sound that holds listeners attention. This band\u2019s combined work includes openings for national bands, solo concerts and a couple of members have provided music for movies and television. The band\u2019s first CD was released July 2011, (Olympia Records) and they are a regular on Toledo\u2019s WIOT\u2019s Man Cave show.\u00a0Admission to the exhibit is free due in part to our generous sponsors, Van Wert Federal Savings Bank, Cooper Farms, Van Wert County Foundation Collin\u2019s Fine Foods and Walmart.\u00a0We are honored to represent high-end, quality arts right here, in our own neck of the woods and we hope to see you here celebrating.<\/p>\n
