SUMMARY:Artist Johanna Stice Works on Display
DESCRIPTION:Print \nThe work of local artist Johanna Stice is on display\, now through Saturday\, June 27 in the art gallery at the Suzette Brumleve Memorial Effingham Public Library. \nStice\, a native of Effingham raised in Teutopolis\, has been creating art for as long as she can remember.  Her artistic journey began at the age of 5\, when she took her first art class and painted a piece she titled “Daisies in a Yellow Jar.”  It was at that moment that Stice discovered a lifelong passion for painting. \nShe draws inspiration from a range of sources\, finding creative influence in the world around her.  She is inspired by various forms of art and the work of other artists.  Her pieces often reflect her personal interests and passions\, with subjects ranging from beloved cultural icons such as the Muppets to music and nature\, including birds. \nFor Stice\, art is more than a creative outlet — it is a fundamental part of the human experience.  She believes that everyone engages in art in some form\, whether they realize it or not.  Through singing\, dancing\, drawing\, storytelling and music\, people connect with each other across generations.  In this way\, art serves as a bridge between the present and the past\, linking us to those who lived thousands of years ago. \nThe art exhibit is free and a library card is not required to view the exhibit. \nContact Art Gallery Coordinator Oran Colwell at 217-342-2464 or oran@effinghamlibrary.org for more information.

SUMMARY:Illinois Free Fishing Days
DESCRIPTION:PrintIllinois Free Fishing Days are June 19-22\, and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources invites families throughout the state to enjoy the opportunity at a lake\, pond\, river\, state park\, or private fishing hole near them. \nDuring these four days\, anglers can fish without purchasing a fishing license\, salmon stamp or inland trout stamp in Illinois.  The goal is for those who don’t usually go fishing to discover or rediscover the activity and to introduce children to it. \nIDNR Director Natalie Phelps Finnie said “Free Fishing Days are a great opportunity for Illinois families to unplug\, spend time together outdoors\, and discover the fun and enjoyment of fishing.  Whether you’re new to the activity or simply haven’t been able to find time for it lately\, I encourage residents and visitors alike to grab a rod\, head to the water\, and make fishing an outdoor tradition.” \nOutside of Free Fishing Days\, Illinois requires anyone over the age of 16 to have a fishing license to fish.  At $15\, Illinois has one of the most affordable standard fishing licenses in the Midwest.  Licenses can be purchased at vendors throughout Illinois or online.  Exclusions apply to active-duty military and people with disabilities. \nLearn more about fishing in Illinois at ifishillinois.org.
