A Winter Solstice in Floristry & More

Winter Solstice Wishes, Welcome Metal OX

The Ox is ruled by Saturn and its direction is north-northeast.

<<Become a VPES member to support the Velaslavasay Panorama in 2021>> VPES Membership ensures a spot on our postal mailing list, which will soon receive a *special edition* of the Floral Syndicate Society Gazette and a 2021 commemorative calendar.

While Shengjing Panorama continues to hibernate for a patient public, the Velaslavasay Panorama Union Theatre Headquarters has been home to various phenomena over the past several months.

The recent call for idle time spurred extended perusing in the home library of the Nova Tuskhut - the only arctic trading post in the lower 48 states. Commemorative Postcards for this era of "Wintering Over"* can still be dispatched. For a $10 contribution, our cloistered Postal Agent will send you (or a recipient of your choosing) a postcard direct from the Nova Tuskhut, including an iconic quote from a book in the Nova Tuskhut Library.

September found our storefront overtaken by the Union Square Florist Shop. Visitors observed the day-to-evening workings of a robust floral syndicate while listening to the sounds of K-FLOR on the am radio and perusing the latest issue of the Floral Syndicate Society Gazette (F.S.S.G), available curbsite. JOIN VPES TODAY or make a donation to ensure postal delivery of the forthcoming Winter Special Edition of the F.S.S.G.

In October, the mutinous ¡Circo Escalofriante! made an impromptu coup of the Velaslavasay Panorama lobby façade, leaving a wake of mystical mutts, incorrigible clowns and glowing gourds (the stuff of nightmares).

As we reflect upon our 20th year of existence, we look forward to continuing our Bi-Decadial celebration with you - and the Metal Ox - throughout 2021.
