Update to 7/18/14 Friday Plein Air Painting- We're going to Army Lake instead

from: SFOSTER10
@wi.rr.com

Hi guys,
I just talked to the owner of the campground, and he is thrilled that we will be painting there.  The exact address of the owner is W1591 Sawyer Lane,
East Troy,  53120.  You must drive 5 mph, drive past his house on the left, go through the gate and turn right.  That will take you down to the lake.  We
will meet there and  I can show you painting opportunities from there.   There are bathroom facilities (porta potty) with beautiful views of the lake, boats,
Lilly pads, farm equipment, flower garden, log cabin and barn, all along the lake.  
Attached is a map of entering the grounds from Hy ES just 1/2 mile north of HY 20 in East Troy.

Milwaukee Sketch Club at East Troy Town Center, Friday Morning 6/27/14

Pretty easy to get there. Just took I-43 South until Hwy 20, made a right off the expressway, then made a left at stoplights (main street) to business center.

We set up on the sidewalk in front of some shops. The sidewalks were very wide. Photographer from the Chamber of Commerce came out and took some pictures. Who knows, maybe later this year pictures of us will appear on their website. People were just the right amount of friendly. Morning started out cool but then became quite warm when we left.

Thank you John for the good pictures!
