COMEDY IN THE PARK: With warm weather and a perfect setting at Shoup Park, the Los Altos Bus Barn Stage Company’s “Comedy of Errors” was amusing and enjoyable! The audience was delighted with Shakespeare’s play, good entertainment and talented actors, good company and chatter, the relaxed atmosphere and picnic snacks and dinner. Thanks to Betty Lohman for making it all possible!
A VERY GOOD THING!: Seville Contempo real estate agent, Judy Bogard-Tanigami recently celebrated her second wedding anniversary with Hide. Happy Anniversary to the handsome couple.
HANDCRAFTED WOODEN BOWLS: Beautiful, natural grained and uniquely shaped colored bowls by artist Jim Mikkelsen were recently on display and for sale at the Kings Mountain Art Fair in Woodside.
It was so nice to see such talent by someone from our hometown. The bowls would be a “conversation piece” in our homes. Call 965-4170.
