Community Grand Marshal

This year’s Community Grand Marshal is local artist and owner of Rembrandt’s Sister, Jaclee Slaba!

Thank you, Kaposia Days Committee, for this honor. When I first heard the news, to be honest, I was a little shocked, so much so, that I went to several board members to make sure they didn’t have someone else who would be more worthy of this honor. I was encouraged to accept, so here I am. 

I was asked to write a little blurb about myself but frankly I am uncomfortable talking about myself, so I will focus not on who I am but what I am. 

Some or most of you know me through my posts on the local Facebook pages where I showcase different projects that I have been working on in and around the community. I never post with the intention of “look what I can do” but with “look what this business or person is doing”, trying to encourage other people to be creative by showing what can be done. If I can get people to be more artistic or creative, whether they hire me or not, I’ve reached my goal. 

 I am grateful for all of the business I have received and thankful that people have chosen this artist to be the creative tool to make their ideas come to life. The cherry on top is that I’ve gotten to know so many wonderful people.  

There are so many talented artists in this community… from ones like me to photographers, sculpturers, theartre geeks, dancers, musicians, and creative individuals…. and they will ride along with me in the parade, in spirit. 

Thank you South St. Paul and the Kaposia Days Committee, for celebrating the arts & the creative spirit!!
