session, with Brandy C. Monroe, a
teen session, complete with a taco
bar, a panel discussion about youths
and their decisions, hosted by Jeff
Cotton, and then culminating with
the “main event,” the Brownstones
Gala Mardi Gras style event hosted
by “Third.”
The Brownstones Gala, during
moments of downtime, allowed the
Gabriel Brass Band, a seven-piece
ensemble from Detroit, to play an
eclectic mix of live music.
“This is so fun. I’m happy to be
part of something like this. I hope
everyone has a great time,” said
Jailien Gray of Battle Creek.
McShan (“Third”) also concluded,
“Maybe it’ll be an annual thing...?”

The 50th Annual Richland Art
Fair will take place 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday, July 20.
The fair will be held on the grounds
of Gull Meadow Farms, located at
8544 Gull Road in Richland.
Entrance to the art show is free
and on-site parking is also free, said
spokesperson Julia Marino.
“What began 50 years ago with 50
artists in the village square has grown
to over 100 juried artists from all
over Michigan and beyond, who will
display their artwork and fine crafts
for sale,” she said. “From jewelry
to pottery, paintings to metal work
and home decor items, there will
be something for everyone in every
price range.”
Other activities will include a raffle
for a chance to win a work of art;
Gull Meadow Farms donuts, kettle
corn and slushies; an animal petting
farm; jumping pillows; zip cord; ball
zone; and slides.
Marino noted that pets are not
allowed on the property.
The annual art fair is a fundraiser
for the Gull Lake Area Community
Volunteers, who help local families
in need by providing children with
coats and snow pants in the fall, and
food, toiletries, clothing and a toy in
December.
Marino said that more than 600
received assistance last year.
Richland Art Fair is set for July 20
