Centennial Park - FREE ADMISSION
- Artwalk
Sarnia Photographic Club is participating in Art Walk 2011!
Commencing with 'First Friday', June 3rd, 6-9 pm, through Saturday, June 4th, 11 am - 5 pm and Sunday, June 5th, 11 am -5 pm, the Sarnia Photographic Club will display and sell photographs at 'The Storey', 179 Christina Street N., for Art Walk!
This is a wonderful opportunity for club members to display their favourite photos and to participate in a fun club event!
Photographs must be framed ready to hang, preferably with wire on the frames. Plaques and level hangers will not be accepted due to the difficulty in hanging them.
The photographer's name, telephone number, price of the photo plus 20% commission, and title of the photo must be securely attached to the back of the photo.
This information must also be sent to the Sarnia Photographic Club to register for this show sarnia.photographic.club@gmail.com or can be submitted at the photo club meetings.
Photos can be dropped off to 'The Storey' on Wednesday, June 1st, between 4 - 6 pm, or on Thursday, June 2nd between 8:30 and 9:30 am.
Volunteers will be needed to help install the show on Thursday, June 2nd, from 9:30 to about 1 pm. This is always a fun event and a good chance to meet fellow photographers.
Photographs can be picked up on Sunday, June 5th, 5-6 pm, or on Monday, June 6th, from 12 - 1 pm.
Art Walk is a fun weekend with Christina Street being closed to traffic. Music, food and art filled tents line the Christina Street area. Come out and participate!

Past Outings...
Petrolia Discovery, September 25th
What will you see there?
Canada's Historic Oilfields, Tours & Displays, Historic Buildings, among others.
We will meet at Petrolia Discovery Parking Lot at 9am. Car pooling is probably a good idea. There is an admission.
Adults: $5.00
Children: $4.00
Seniors: $4.00
Family: $12.00
However, there is a group rate, but I will need to know how many people will be there..
Afterwords, we could perhaps go somewhere for lunch but I will again need to know how many people would be interested in that, before I can book something.
Sparta, October 23rd
Another Outing I have arranged for, is Winter Wheat, in Sparta on October 23rd.
I will be bringing in pamphlets on this to the regular meeting in October.
This is a wonderful place to take photos, I am sure you will agree.
The tentative Itinerary will be:
We will meet in the Town of Sparta, parking on the street near Anything used and Candle Shop in the Corner of Sparta line and Quaker Road at 9:00 am. It takes about an hour to get there. Maps will be provided at the October regular meeting.
You will have an hour to take photos of the town which has many points of interest including a museum.
At 10:00 am, we will drive over to Winter Wheat on Quaker Road.
You will have 2 hours to take photos, shop, relax with a complimentary tea, coffee and a cookie.
At noon, we will drive to Pinecroft, which is about a 10 or 15 minute drive to have lunch at the Green Frog Tea room.
After lunch we will have another hour to take photos of the area.
