 So today, we are doing the Mountain Girl Artist Showcase. The event held in partnership with the Appalachian Center for the Arts marked the beginning of a month-long exhibit showcasing 30 female artists from the region. This is actually our third year doing an exhibit. Last year, in the year before, we were kind of low-key. We just kind of had some artists set up in the gallery. This year is a little bit different, we're jerd. And so people, we went in awards for their media that they're in, in visual arts. And so this year is so much bigger. We have over 90 pieces of art. We have art from Turning Point Domestic Abuse Center that we support with Mountain Girl. The Mountain Girl experience has been making a significant impact within the community. We've put our focus toward Turning Point Domestic Violence Services. And last year, we also gave to that cause as well as we gave to our Perry Cline West Care Emergency Shelter for Women and Children. And I'm really proud to say that last year, we were able to give $3,000 in donations to help women right here in this area. And that was all done by women in this area. Cancer, it's a very scary word. But an outstanding treatment facility was here at home. I was led to the Lawson Cancer Center. As a nurse practitioner at the Lawson Cancer Center, we are champions for our patients. I am so happy for Robert. The treatment worked. The Mountain Girl experience has become a pillar of empowerment, offering a platform for women to share their stories and experiences through various artistic mediums. Mountain Girl was formed from the brain of Chris Preston. She wanted to support women and showcase female artists. And that has really grown from just a one day celebration to now we've expanded to three days. And our main goal is Appalachian women helping Appalachian women. So whatever that looks like, whatever they need to do, we want to be strong role models for the little mountain mamas coming up and making sure that we're making a way for them to grow in their art, develop their art and be proud of who they are. The exhibit will be open on weekdays from one to four PM throughout the month of June. And additionally, the Mountain Girl experience is scheduled from June 15th to 17th. I can't believe that it has grown like it has, but you know, this is a labor of love and there are just a core group of really strong women that, you know, we are talking to each other every day, you know, making plans. People have kind of doled out different responsibilities and, you know, it might have been a little idea I had, but I think anybody else could have come up with this idea. I think we all knew in our hearts something like this needed to be done. The organizers are proud to champion women in the arts, but they emphasize that people of all genders are invited and encouraged to attend. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Ethan Miller.
