	For our 1 year anniversary we presented the fine art oil paintings of Hal Halvorsen, and we had a hugely successful show. Thanks to all who came out!
	Our gallery, with Hal's landscapes... and his waterscapes. We love crashing waves! Our storefront. The artist, Harold, and Cherie, owner of Ripe Art. Harold and his daughters. Mr and Mrs Halvorsen. The room filled up quickly. Mrs H and the special scandinavian cake, called a Kransekaken. It was made of marzipan and almond cookie crust, and is for good luck. Two of our young fans! Everyone seemed to have a great time. We couldn't even hear the music playing. Hal and good friend, Mr Hennings. Catching up with friends.
