A series of mask-making workshops this summer throughout the Gorge are adding colorful, imaginative and festive visages to the Sept. 22 Fall Masquerade, a benefit for Columbia Gorge United Way.

Hood River Library was the site of one mask workshop on Saturday, taught by Kara Sisk, with just a few of its results show above. Below, Ben Sheppard holds two samples of his work, while Aubrey Lopez, 8, of Hood River, concentrates on her painting, and Fiona Larsen-Teskey, 12, of Hood River, right, adds fine touches to one of her masks.
