Gottesman This week in Edom, the big news is the grand opening and one-year anniversary of The Old Firehouse Visual Art Gallery, at the west end of downtown.

On Saturday, the gallery will celebrate its first year in Edom by hosting an open house from noon to 8.

The Old Firehouse is home to JeffreyLance Photography, where you will find a portfolio of fine art images that range in subject from landscapes to architecture to artistic.

Many images are ideally suited for lakehouse decor, and prices are reason- able.

A highlight of the collection is the series of local colleges. Top sellers for many years, they make perfect gifts for graduates.

With hundreds of images from which to choose, a collage of five favorites can be selected, matted, and even framed while you wait.

The Old Firehouse is usually open Wednesday through Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition to hundreds of fine art images printed on traditional photographic paper, the gallery also offers giclees (images printed on canvas,) porcelain lithophane accent lights, and additional services including custom framing, photo restoration, and printing of your image on canvas.

Call the gallery at 903- 852-2781, or visit theoldfi rehouse.net.

Elsewhere in Edom on Saturday, The Edom Bakery & Grill will serve its final gourmet dinner until next Fall.

The menu this month is entitled a five-course meal featuring entree choices of Turmeric-spiced chicken tacos or pepita-crusted tilapia served with appetizer, soup, salad, and dessert to celebrate the coming season.

Reservations can be made by calling 903-852-5552. To continue the celebration of summer, The Bakery will kick off its summer menu on Memorial Day.

Stay cool!
