For anyone who is anyone in Clackamas county, the Colton Cafe is the place to be tonight! One of Colton’s local artists, Dennis Stafford, will be ‘unveiling’ his most recent creation at 7pm tonight. For those familiar with the JBRanch blog, you may remember the custom artwork we commissioned a few months ago – with the John Deere tractor in the barn – that’s Dennis! Apparently, he has also notified the media and MULTIPLE reporters are expected to cover the event. Even while we’ve been sitting here one reporter called the cafe to say she was stuck in traffic and not to start without her… The Molalla Pioneer sends out a daily email update with 2-3 headline stories and he was included in today’s email:

Here’s the picture waiting to be unveiled (it’s wrapped in a blue t-shirt with a hand written sign that says, “unveiling at 7pm Friday”:
Right at 7pm, Dennis got the crowd pumped for the reveal and even received a drum roll…
But he tricked us all and had to go out to his truck to get the REAL painting!
It’s the Colton Cafe!!! For those of you who have visited, you’ll recognize the cute little yellow building. The crowed cheered and the Cafe owners were very proud of their new masterpiece!
That looks entirely like 2 hours of your life that you will never get back.
