DuWayne "Duce" Bowen, a Seneca Nation descendent of Chief Cornplanter and a consultant to the Oil City Arts Council has died.

There's a vegan potluck tomorrow, in Clintonville of all places. Clintonville is a tiny little backwater near the I-80 Elemton off ramp that apparently is a hotbed of vegan-ism. Dedicated veganism.

Show up at the Park Pavillion at 4 pm and bring a vegan dish and recipe to share. Contact them at venangovegansociety@yahoo.com
