After many months of planning, working and sourcing, we are thrilled to share that our new Dragonfly Gift Shop is now open in the Education Center.
We invite you to stop by to see the unique offerings our volunteers have curated. You will find a variety of items from local artists including original watercolor art prints of the old bridge by Colorado artist Susan Hensey, 4×6 matted color photos, mandalas and jewelry created by board member Amy Wald, painted rocks, silk scarves, stained glass birds, teacup fairy gardens and more! There are also plenty of LLFB logo items, including T-shirts, baseball caps, stickers and luggage tags.
The shop is now open Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00am – 1:00pm. Once fall comes and during leaf season, we hope to expand our hours so check our website for the latest information.
September brings an exciting line up of classes and workshops in our Education Center. Art classes led by local artist and volunteer Amy Wald are always very popular.
