Events

The folks at J Goard Pottery, at 204 Johnson Street, are pleased to invite you back for another Autumn day of pottery, demonstrations in Raku, wheel throwing, textile and fiber, sales, and much more. Live music will be provided by the Light Girls. Also, back by popular demand are the soup dinner, hosted by the Galva Kiwanis Club, and the ice cream social, hosted by the Bishop Hill Old Settler Association. You will want to arrive early to get tickets for the soup dinner. Buy a handmade pottery bowl and get if filled with delicious soup. Both are fundraisers for each organization.
