Thank You !
Our 6th Falling Leaves Art Studio Tour is now history and we count it a success because so many of you were willing to brave the rainy, cold weather to come visit with us (we were afraid we would have to spend the week-end talking to each other about the weather). We enjoyed visiting with you and truly appreciate your attendance despite the weather and less than perfect Fall Color conditions. If any of you are having "Monday morning quarterback" pangs about that item you wish you had gotten, we are still available (and maybe that item is too). Our web page will remain up, perhaps with improvements, and we will post next year's dates as soon as we figure it out. If you have any suggestions or requests, please feel free to contact any of us. We hope to see you again next year.
The Falling Leaves Art Studio Tour is an annual tour of the studios of a number of artists who live and work in or near Augusta, Fairchild, Fall Creek, Humbird, and Osseo Wisconsin. The tour winds through scenic backroads in the area and affords an opportunity to see both rural farms and woods and the studios and work of painters, potters, carvers, candlemakers, and jewelers. Tour members are a loose cooperative of individual artists and craftsmen and membership (and thus the tour) may change some from year to year.
