ELSAH The Village of Elsah Museum will celebrate its annual photography exhibit with a closing reception 1-4 p.m. Saturday, July 31, in the Green Tree Inn’s gazebo north of the museum.
Remarks and recognitions will take place 1:30-2 at 26 LaSalle St., Elsah. If rain is forecast, the event will include “take away” refreshments.
The annual exhibit celebrates and fosters an appreciation of the village. This year’s exhibit was carried over from last year with the theme of “My Favorite Window.”
This year’s judge Erica Popp, an artist and college instructor commented on the high quality of the submitted images. In addition to purchase prizes, there were eight special recognition photographs. Historic Elsah Foundation featured six historic window photographs from the exhibit on its webpage, escapetoelsah.com.
