Black Hills Paint-Out
Lead, SD
September 19-23, 2007

Join SDPAA and Blue Dog Gallery for the third annual Black Hills paint-out in beautiful Lead, SD. Enjoy the stunning scenery of the area - Spearfish Canyon, Roughlock Falls or the charm of historic Lead and Deadwood! September also means the "turning" of the aspen trees - see you there!

Hosts John and Jan Humphrey have extended the number of days for anyone who wishes to come earlier to paint.  The event will start on Wednesday, September 19th and go through Sunday September 23rd.  The opening reception will still be Friday with a dinner on Saturday night and the Wet Sale on Sunday.

Jan says they have some new businesses in Lead so things “are jumpin' “ and they are planning for a bigger turnout this year. For more information, contact Jan at bluedogframers@rushmore.com
