Grove Second Saturday Event This Weekend

Shiver Me Timbers!

Pirates are invading downtown Grove!
You will want a camera in your hand and a parrot perched on your
shoulder as you attend this next Grove Second Saturday event, August
11 at 6 p.m. The Ladies of the Salty Kiss
( www.theladiesofthesaltykiss.com), a comedy troupe of Legalized
Pirates will add to the fun and festivities of the downtown Grove
event. The crew of pyratical performers is comprised of actresses
portraying characters from the Renaissance era. Their interactive
play, improvisation, and wild antics are sure to bring lots of smiles
and laughter.

In addition to the fine restaurants, art galleries, and shops there
will be plenty going on along the street. The smell of fried Taters
and Onions will fill the air outside Gourmet's kitchen store while
live polka plays over at Magnolias. Hungry bellies will find beer and
brats compliments of IBC bank and you can stop by 27 West to paint
the giant two while photographer Elayne Bryant takes a free portrait
of your favorite little one. If you are up for a little adventure,
stop in the Grand Lake Sports center. They have talking birds and a
large-mouth bass tank which holds some of the finest fish caught on
Grand Lake. And if you need some bait, Sam Williams, the Grand
fishing guru, can tell you and sell you whether you need it live,
dead or fake. Speaking of live bait, the book worms will have fun
too. You can reel in the latest inspirational books at Fishers of Men
while listening to Mary T sing the gospel. Or, if you would prefer a
New York Time's best-seller, Tucker's has you covered. You say you
would like to do a little singing of your own, or would just like to
listen to someone else try? You can join in on the Karoke fun with
Dink West and Lisa Frieden.

Whatever you do, don't miss the art galleries, The Brush and Palette
Club's main show is titled "Around the Lake" and features an array of
local artists. Brown Design Group offers the largest selection of
fine art and artists in town, and two doors down is northeast
Oklahoma's contemporary modern art gallery: Blazon Studio, which is
currently featuring large sculptural works by Aaron Hauck and Larry
Cole as well as the wildly engaging paintings of local artist Gerry
Goodpasture. Less than one block west of Blazon Studio you will
experience the work of another local artist, Rebecca Sherman, over at
Floral Expressions. While there, you might as well sip a latté and
enjoy a Krispy Kreme donut at the attached Java Dave's. Java Dave's
is the place where many folks congregate as the night comes to a
close and sweet tooths find themselves looking for a bedtime snack.
