The show will be around beautiful Cottonwood Lake on Brentwood Drive in Sun Lakes. There will be art, food, music and a raffle.

Paintings in all mediums, pottery, sculpture, handmade jewelry, gourd art and photography are acceptable. The fee to enter the show will be $40 to be used to cover the show’s expenses and the cost of an eight foot table and two chairs for each artist. Artists may share a table but each will be responsible for the fee. We have applications available now in the Oakwood and Sun Lakes art rooms and the Cottonwood/Palo Verde Homeowners Services office at 25219 E. J. Robson Boulevard, Sun Lakes and at [email protected].

The event is a benefit for the Sun Lakes Firefighters’ Emergency Relief Fund (SLERF) and the 100 Club of Arizona  (www.100club.org). SLERF and the 100 Club not only help first responders and their families, but also anyone in the community who has any type of misfortune, is in need and need assistance after an accident or fire and also public safety personnel. The Sun Lakes firefighters will be grilling burgers and hot dogs and also have donuts, coffee and sodas available during the show. In the past, about $8,000 has been raised for the Relief Fund.
