St. Stephen Lutheran Church to host pair of fundraisers

Larry Golba, a local artist, will be exhibiting his work at St. Stephen Lutheran Church, 7800 Erie St. from Nov. 5-20. An opening reception will be held on Nov. 5 and 6 from 12:30-4:30 pm.

To view and purchase work after the opening reception, make an appointment by calling the church office, 419-885-1551. Examples of Golba’s work can be found at larrysgolba.com.
