Vancouver Artist to Autograph Ornament at Three Holiday Events
(November 21, 2009--Vancouver, WA) A painting of Vancouver Barracks by local artist Fay Kahn has been selected to adorn the Vancouver National Historic Reserve’s 2008 Christmas ornament. The $19.95 ornaments are available at the Historic Reserve Bookstore inside the Visitor Center, 1501 E. Evergreen Boulevard and at The Museum Shop at Pearson Air Museum, 1115 E. Fifth Street. Both shops are located on the Historic Reserve and are managed by the Vancouver National Historic Reserve Trust.
The artist will autograph her Vancouver Barracks ornament at three holiday events on the Historic Reserve:
· Vancouver Barracks Holiday Tree Lighting, December 6 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., west end of the Parade Ground near the Barracks and Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver
· Christmas with Santa at Pearson Air Museum, December 13 from 10 a.m. to noon, The Museum Shop at Pearson Air Museum, 1115 E. Fifth Street, Vancouver
· Christmas at Fort Vancouver and the Historic Reserve Bookstore, December 13 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., the Historic Reserve Bookstore, 1501 E. Evergreen Blvd., Vancouver, just south of the Marshall House on Officers Row
The watercolor by Vancouver artist Fay Kahn depicts two Civil War era soldiers standing along the fence on the parade ground and looking south toward the barracks. Vancouver Barracks will celebrate its 160th anniversary in May 2009. Established in 1849, it is the oldest U.S. military post in the Pacific Northwest.
Kahn originally painted the piece during the Art on the Boulevard’s annual Plein Air Exhibit at the Historic Reserve. Her original watercolor of Vancouver Barracks is available for purchase at Art on the Boulevard, a Friends of the Arts Gallery, 210 W. Evergreen Blvd. in Vancouver.
The 2007 Historic Reserve ornament featuring Fort Vancouver and created by local artist Elida Field hung on the White House Christmas tree last year. Autographed 2007 and 2008 ornaments are available for purchase for $19.95. This is an opportunity to begin collecting this series of autographed Christmas ornaments.

LOIS SETTLEMEYER’S AWARD-WINNING PHOTOGRAPHY WILL BE ON DISPLAY AT THE “SIMPLY SEASONS” SHOW DURING THE CAMAS ART WALK AND CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING CE
Camas, WA – Friday, December 5th, 2008, during the Camas Art Walk and Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, the Second Story Gallery in the Camas Public Library, 421 NE Franklin, Camas, Washington, will host a reception for “Simply Seasons”. A show featuring the beauty of the seasons captured through the camera lens of local notable Lois Settlemeyer. Opening night reception is from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Settlemeyer’s expertise in macro and landscape photography displays incredible, true- to- life-detail. Many of her photos on display will be of the Camas area, and all of the selections, printed on canvas, are signed and numbered, limited edition prints. A number of her photos will be on sale and all profits will be donated to Open House Ministries in Vancouver, WA.
Settlemeyer’s photos have been selected for awards including the top ten Photo of the Year 2007 image “Volcano in the Clouds”, a shadow of Mt Hood taken from Prune Hill in Camas. “Red Clover” was chosen to win the photo competition in the Progressive Farmer magazine competition. Her entry “The Irving” won an award for the 2007 Historic Porches of Portland Photo Contest sponsored by Portland’s Architectural Heritage Center. “Heart and Soul” won Honorable Mention in the 2008 “Catch the Color” Photo Contest sponsored by Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm and Pro Photo Supply. In the Oregonian 2007 Homes and Gardens of the North West competition three additional Settlemeyer photos were placed among the winning entries.
Fall and Winter photos are displayed on the cover of Pathways magazine. She is a volunteer photographer for the Mt. Hood Chapter of the Pacific Crest Trail Association 2007-2008.
Much of Settlemeyers’ conceptual planning and subject selection involves her eye for detail. A career in the analytical sciences of chemistry and mathematics help to identify and capture structured patterns for her photographic artistry.
The opening night reception is on December 5, 2008 from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM.
Open to the public during library hours, the Settlemeyer collection will be on display in the Second Story Gallery from December 5th 2008 through December 27, 2008.

Dressbarn Collects Toys, Brings Holiday Magic to Children
Women's Fashion Retail Company Joins Toys for Tots for Holiday Toy Collection
This time of year many of us find ourselves scurrying around, trying to find that popular toy that is high in demand for our young loved ones. Whether it's the new Elmo Live Doll or the Nintendo Wii interactive videogame, there is always that one special toy that a child wants to find under the Christmas tree. But this holiday season, some children won't find any toys under the tree.
In an effort to bring holiday magic to disadvantaged children this year, dressbarn is launching its first Toys for Tots Drive from December 8th to December 12th. During this time, dressbarn stores will encourage people to donate new, unwrapped toys for the cause. And to show their heartfelt thanks, the stores will give customers who donate a 15 percent coupon off a single regular priced item, said Vivian Behrens, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of dressbarn, inc.
"We want to spread that holiday cheer to those who are in need, and this initiative really helps us to do that," Behrens said. "For several years, the Toys for Tots program has delivered a message of hope to needy youngsters that motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders. We are so proud and happy to be a part of this great effort this year."
According to the organization's Web site, the objectives of the Toys for Tots program are to help disadvantaged children in the United States experience the joy of Christmas, play an active role in the development of children, unite members of the local communities in a common cause during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign, and contribute to better communities overall in the future.
"We really hope that communities come together to give to children who are really in need. Just the thought of knowing that they are giving a child hope this Christmas season should be heartwarming," said Behrens. "Thanks to the customers who donate, we'll be able to give smiles to children nationwide this holiday season."
