This free project will be set up in the children’s area next to The Saw Shop and all of the paints and art supplies will be provided.
Each participating child will receive a square block on the mural board to paint with his or her interpretation of our county and pears.
There will be “artist supervision” to help little ones with their designs, but a parent or guardian must also be present.
Let’s get “artsy” Lake County!

LAKEPORT, Calif. – The 1951 musical drama, “The Great Caruso,” starring Mario Lanza and Ann Blyth, screens at the Soper Reese Theatre on Tuesday, July 24, at 1 and 6 p.m.
Entry to the film is by donation.
This fictionalized film traces tenor Enrico Caruso’s ascension from adolescent choir singer to the uppermost ranks of the opera world.
His first love is Musetta from his hometown of Naples, and then Dorothy, the daughter of one of the Metropolitan Opera's patrons.
Caruso is unacceptable to both women's fathers: to one, because he sings; to the other, because he is a peasant.
Throughout you’ll be treated to the voice of the fabulous Mario Lanza and 1950s stars from the Metropolitan Opera.
The movie is sponsored by Alex Valiansky. Rated G. Run time is 1 hour and 49 minutes.
The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St., Lakeport, 707-263-0577, www.soperreesetheatre.com.
