New Owners of the Reedsport Natural Foods Welcome First Friday
 
Greg Viert and Patsy Sichley, new owners of the Reedsport Natural Foods store are looking forward to hosting Friday's art event featuring Chris Lechuga.  Greg and Patsy are native Oregonians.  After living in Hawaii and Arizona, they returned to Oregon 13 years ago when they moved to Reedsport.  The couple said that they have spent the last 13 years encouraging people to come to Reedsport.  They believe that when people come to Reedsport, no matter how long they stay, the local businesses benefit. 
 
They are also looking forward to continuing the Arts & Business Alliance with CDABA and are please to host the upcoming First Friday . . . Art for Everyone event featuring Chris Lechuga on Friday, October 5, 2012 between 5 and 7 pm. 
 
Chris is a Reedsport High School graduate.  He took up illustrations and drawing and has been enjoying it ever since elementary school.  Chris has had no formal training but worked many years with his late mother, Michele Lechuga, who was a well-known artist in the area.  Some selected pieces of Michele's work will also be shown.
