Rachel Harvey of Mount Hood is the featured artist for June at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center.

"My focus is that moment of visceral connection, when man-made objects fade and the universe radiates from one's own location," she said in an artist's statement. "One's hold on life and love and family seems insignificant in the vastness of it all and yet is acutely precious and vital."

The opening reception will be from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday at Crossroads, 2020 Auburn Ave., Baker City.

Live music will be provided

by Nancy Ames. Friends of Crossroads will supply light refreshments.

Cabin Cowboy Designs Cabin Cowboy Designs will have a garden party outside during First Friday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. with food, drink and live music.

Featured artists are Becky Litke and Sherri Linnemeyer, who both work in watercolor.

through her self-taught painting.

It was at that moment living life fully began to open up to her.

Stout developed a love of many forms of art. This knowledge base expanded by teaching the Masters enthusiastically to the young people she had worked with. It was because of her early childhood education degree and many years of teaching children, setting aside the brush seemed natural as she began to use her hands to create texture in her Impressionistic Impasto "finger paintings."

During a trip to the localart museum, she discovered a use of texturefar beyond anything she could create with just paint.

It wasthe artist'suse ofplaster that gave her the idea to use fabric and glue as texture. She has spentthe past severalyears developing this idea into her unique use of sculpted cloth.

Evidence of her success using this technique is now on display in locati ons across the world.

Stout, who is often described as cheerful and inspirational with an utter compulsion to paint, has transformed as a per-

son and artist. She has expanded her portfolio of highly textured art called a"unique and unusual" experience demonstrating a lifelong passion for art.

"It's made with cloth, glue, various paints and a bit of'magic' and yes, go ahead, you can touch it," she said.

Big rigs with the extra-long fancy horse trailers are lining the streets in Union near the grounds of the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show. Ropers, bull riders, barrel racers and rodeo enthusiasts have gathered for a week of rodeo, racing, good food and family fun.

"It is exciting. It is a big tradition in our community," said Chelcee Mansfield, Union High School FFA adviser.

Since 1908, the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show has welcomed families and competitors to Union for a week of showmanship and competition.

"Thereisa lotgoing on besides thecarnivaland therodeo,"said Grand Marshall Pat Bruce.'The stock show is really oriented around the kids."

The grounds are teeming with scrubbed-up swine, goats, calves, lambs and 575 students in 4-H and FFA gear racing to show rings and judging events.

Amidst the menagerie oflegs and tails ,students getthe opportunity to look a judge in the eye, speak in front of a crowd and smile while under pressure.

"That does equate to building confidence and self-esteem," said Carole Smith, OSU Extension regional administrator.

During the show, exhibitors practice presenting themselves to a judge, but next week it might be to a scholarship committee or a job interview panel.

'You see growth in a student from the beginning to the end of the process," Mansfield said."Confidence is a big part of that."

Livestock confirmation and showmanship classes begin Wednesday evening with goat showmanship. On Thursday and Friday, three show rings will run simultaneously to judge sheep, swine and cattle.

On Thursday afternoon, nearly 400 students will participate in a livestock judging competition ratingsheep,pigs,beefand goats.

Students not only sharpen their evaluation skills but must defend their reasoning to a judge.

Saturday morning, the livestock auction for market 4-H and FFA animals starts at 8 a.m. This year, 26 goats, 221 hogs, 117 lambs and 32 steers willbeupfor auction.

Buyers can bid in person or arrangetobuy an animal through a buyer committee that represents absentee buyers.

PRCA clown of the year J.J. Harrison will headline the entertainment. Harrison is in such high demand that the stock show is only able to book him once every seven years.

"He is hilarious. You don't want to miss one dayofhim,"said Darren Hansen, rodeo chairman."It is well worth your money to watch that guy."

Harrison will be joined by announcer Steve Kenyon and bullfighters Darrell Diefenbach, Mick Thompson and Treavor Hampshire. Diefenbach has been a national finals bullfighter for a dozen years.

Twelve wild cows and 12 roping teams will face off Thursday night during the Wild Cow Milking competition. The first team to rope 'em, milk 'em and run a bottle to the judge that drips milk, wlns.
