October 6: Cat’s Meow will host an Art Show entitled Valley of Hope – Valley Barns. Local artists Helena Meek and Pat Christian will paint and exhibit the barns of Harris County, and specifically, Pine Mountain Valley. Pine Mountain Valley was founded as a self sufficient community in 1934 under a New Deal Project. Numerous barns were constructed throughout the community and many still stand. However, time has taken an irrevocable toll on these structures. Helena and Pat aim to preserve and show the rich history of the community on canvas.
