Q : What happened to the Vardo?

A: Miss Lynette’s labor of love built on a flatbed farmtruck, the Vardo at 2nd & E, was sold to Box of Bubbles in 2021. Though quirky and enchanting, the small space and climate control were compromising. It has become an iconic Salida art installation Miss Lynette feels proud to have created.
