"Fall Fiesta"
Five days of Creativity, Spiritual Renewal, Recreation & Rest

In our increasingly fast-paced world, it's rare for any of us to spend one precious week in the tranquility of nature. When I was invited by Fall Fiesta organizer, Paul Kuske, to perform on piano and conduct workshops at his retreat for adults, neither my husband nor I anticipated how special the
experience would be.

This webpage is a memento of our time together. It features the piano music duets we created and photographs that capture nature and spirit.

Red Pine Camp
The joy experienced at Fall Fiesta was unusual. Many participants had known each other for years, and even decades, reflecting the legacy of Red Pine Camp.

"Fall Fiesta seeks to provide stimulation for the body, mind and spirit in a relaxed and informal setting. In the company of like-minded adults, participants enjoy an eclectic mix of athletic, educational, musical and altruistic presentations and activities." Paul Kuske, Founder of "Fall Fiesta"
