As of July 2014, Gordy’s County Market in Ladysmith has added Gordy’s Express, a gas station that allows

our customers to take advantage of all of the Pump Perks discounts provided at so many of Gordy’s other

RECEPTION FOR 2015 RAAA

CALENDAR ART SHOW

The Rusk Area Arts Alliance is proud to

announce the 2015 Ladysmith History

Calendar. The original calendar artwork, by 9 local artists, is

currently on display in the Rusk County Community Library

Gallery. A reception will be held on Nov. 11, from 4:30 to

6:00 p.m. in the Gallery, when sponsors, building owners,

local officials and the general public will be invited to view

the artwork and speak with some of the artists.

The subject matter of the artwork has a wide range of local

interest. There are images of third and fourth generation

businesses that have served our community for nearly 100

years. Other images include older buildings getting a new

start from artful owners, such as the Toad House, formerly a

residence, and J. Hoover Builders which has a new vision for

the old powdered milk building in the Ladysmith Milk Pro-

ducers creamery complex. Also featured are several of the

beautiful old landmark buildings in Ladysmith--the old State

Bank, Gerard Hotel, Miner Theatre, and Smith House.

You can get your copy of the History Calendar for $5.00 at

the Library before (3-4:30) and during the Calendar Art

Reception at the Library on Nov. 11 (4:30-6), the Rusk

County Visitor Center, downtown at the Fine Arts Center, or
