Birthday on the boat and summer fun
Arlene Baird, a North Hero summer resident for 30 years, invites you to view her collection for the August Art Exhibit at the Senior Center. Arlene captures our mood in her beautiful realism and dream-like oil paintings and watercolors. Arlene’s inspiration comes from the beauty that surrounds her: nature, animals or just the odd building that has seen better days.
