Celebrate ‘Grandparent’s Day’ With A Trip To Pinot’s Palette To Paint And Spend Time With Loved Ones!
Get ready! Grandparent’s Day is Sunday, September 9th.In an effort to honor our elders and all that they have done for our family, we want to pass along some information on the history of this special day and offer some ideas of how you can spend the day with them!
Some of the additional countries that celebrate the day are Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Poland, Spain, and Taiwan.
Marian McQuade from West Virginia has been recognized, nationally, as the founder of National Grandparents Day. McQuade made it her goal to educate the youth around her community about the important contributions seniors have made throughout history. She also urged the youth to "adopt" a grandparent, not just for one day a year, but rather for a lifetime. Co-founder Cynthia Bennett, who worked for Marian's husband, contributed by writing letters of verification.
In 1973, Senator Jennings Randolph (D-WV) introduced a resolution to the senate to make Grandparents' Day a national holiday.
In February 1977, ‘Grandparent's Day’ was offically designated as the first Sunday of September after Labor Day of each year. The purpose of the day was stated as "a way to honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children's children, and to help children become aware of strength, information, and guidance older people can offer".

There are so many great ways to show family that you care about them. For grandparents, the gift of an experience and time spent with loved ones is probably better than any material gift they can receive. Bring them in to experience a painting and wine class at our studio and cherish the quality time you spend with them, making some lovely art and some wonderful memories. First-time painters shouldn’t worry… that’s what we’re here for! We’ll walk you through the painting, step-by-step, assisting you the whole way through with anything you may need. You’ll be surprised at how you can go from blank canvas to masterpiece in just a 2-3 hour class.
If your grandparents don’t live near you or aren’t able to attend a painting class, you could always make a painting for them as a gift! We have a calendar, full of amazing paintings, so check them out and see which one you think your grandparents would like! Creating a handmade gift for them is something they will love so much and treasure forever. They’ll appreciate the time and effort you put into their gift, making it even more special than anything you could have bought from the store. Showing someone you love them with something you made, especially with them in mind, is thoughtful, loving, kind, and so valuable to the recipient.
*Here are just a few of the upcoming classes that would be good ones too attend for a gift-making experience:
(1) Bring the whole family out to make a painting for them at one of our Open Studio Classes (the next one is On September 7) and have everyone make a different painting for them to hang in their home.
