GLOW 2011 Update
What a weekend! GLOW 2011 held on Sept. 9 and 10 was impacted by unpredictable severe weather conditions beyond our control, especially, on Saturday night. Mother Nature had a show of her own featuring lighting, wind, rain, mud, hail and even the possibility of tornados The forecast kept changing rapidly and despite our optimistic “rain or shine” approach the resulting storms thwarted our ability to present GLOW as fully as we all envisioned.There were power outages in some places, risk to sensitive electronics and equipment that prevented participants from setting up and many who planned to attend decided to stay safely at home instead of venturing out.
That being said - in typical GLOW fashion - our amazing community shone brightly. We all did our best and made the most of the challenging conditions. Thanks to the tireless support of the many artists, musicians, performers volunteers and vendors. Both nights, people came out with a spirit of adventure, a positive attitude and had a great time even in the mud. It was crazy and wonderful.
At the same time, it was disappointing after all the effort and energy that was contributed. We wanted our good GLOW experience which we got, but in a different way than intended.
So, Saturday, Sept. 24th, 7-11 pm we will hold a GLOW again! event
A condensed GLOW experience on the night of September 24, 2011 from 7-11 pm. A chance to fulfill our GLOWing dreams! A chance for all the GLOW supporters who missed attending to come out and enjoy. An opportunity to spruce up some of the installations, the Triangle L grounds. maybe even improve on our pieces, costumes and have some new artwork in place. We will focus mostly on the area of the sculpture path, gallery, gift shop with a stage on the patio for performances and music. All are invited. Keep checking the website for updates and a schedule of participants and performers... GO GLOW!
GLOW on,
Sharon

Story GLOW again 9-21-2011
GLOW again! An “after the storm” event.
sp..utter .. wipe .. “Excuse me while I just wring the water out of this announcement.” .. wring .. “Ah, there, that's much better. On to the story, proper, then.”
Once upon a time, there was a ranch, but, not just any ordinary ranch, where cows frolicked, no! This was a special ranch, where things glowed at night, walk paths were set out for walking upon, and, for the price of $10 most any adult at all, even the strangely dressed ones – Strike that! Especially the strangely dressed ones! - could come inside and feast their eyes on much art that was glowsome, listen to much music and eat much food that would make their hearts glow, as well, in varying fashions.
It was a lovely ranch, indeed. That is, until the night the wicked rains came and poured down on all and what wished they were sundry.
“What a weekend! GLOW 2011 held on September 9th and 10th was impacted by unpredictable severe weather conditions beyond our control, especially, on Saturday night. Mother Nature had a show of her own featuring lighting, wind, rain, mud, hail and even the possibility of tornadoes. The forecast kept changing rapidly and despite our optimistic “rain or shine” approach the resulting storms thwarted our ability to present GLOW as fully as we all envisioned. There were power outages in some places, risk to sensitive electronics and equipment that prevented participants from setting upand many who planned to attend decided to stay safely at home instead of venturing out.”, says Sharon Holnback.
Glasses were fogged, walk paths became slip slides, electric guitars became frightsome things to wield. The people of the ranch, and their guests, tried to fight through the rain, tried to out wait it, tried to dress for it or take shelter from it, all to no avail. The night was not without some small success, but, it was mostly small from having been shrunk by the rain!
“That being said” continued Sharon, “ - in typical GLOW fashion - our amazing community shone brightly. We all did our best and made the most of the challenging conditions.”
Then, there was the next night, when the rain got serious, and tried to make the ranch into a swimming pool. Was it wet? Oh yes. Was it inspiring to swim in? No, Ma'am, no Sir, it was not! Still, one could pop in here and see some lovely dry, glowing artwork, pop in there to see some more, admire the drenched acapellas, and, a good, if permanently damp, time could be achieved.
“Thanks to the tireless support of the many artists, musicians, performers volunteers and vendors. Both nights, people came out with a spirit of adventure, a positive attitude and had a great time even in the mud. It was crazy and wonderful. At the same time, it was disappointing after all the effort and energy that was contributed. We wanted our good GLOW experience which we got, but in a different way than intended.”, contributed Ms. Holnback.
However, this little ranch dreamed of a finer day, when it's inhabitants and guests would be free of the drubbing rain which beat down on their heads, and, now, they hope, the day is nigh. On Saturday, September 24th, from 7 pm – 11 pm, Glow again!, an after the storm event, will be open to the public. Tickets are $10 per person, with advance tickets being honored, or cash at the gate, for adults, or $5 under 18, with guardian, or free for children under the age of three.
The address for this wondrous, hopefully bone dry, event is Triangle L Ranch 2805 N. Triangle L Ranch Road Oracle, AZ 85623. For more information, visit www.triangleLranch.com.
