A Creative & Delicious Kickoff to Spring in Webster City

Paint, Sip, Shop & Celebrate Local on April 26

Webster City is welcoming spring with a colorful, community-driven event that invites residents and visitors to embrace creativity, connection, and local pride. The Spring Sip & Shop returns Saturday, April 26, beginning with a flavorful and fun-filled Paint & Sip Charcuterie Breakfast at 9:00 AM, hosted at the Webster City Church of Christ (900 Des Moines Street).

For just $5, guests will enjoy a beautifully arranged charcuterie breakfast and refreshing mock mimosas while taking part in a guided paint session led by featured artist and Chamber Ambassador Renee McDonald. Participants will paint their own wooden circle sign, selecting from a variety of feel-good phrases including “Welcome,” “Wildflowers,” “Blessed,” “Farmhouse,” “Home Sweet Home,” “This Is Us,” or “Our Life, Our Story, Our Home.”

Renee McDonald, known for her vibrant murals and mixed-media work in Fort Dodge and surrounding communities, brings a deeply personal touch to her artistry. After losing her father in 2012, painting became a healing outlet and a creative journey.

“I started painting as a form of grieving. I’m a self-taught artist, and the better I became, the more I turned it into a science experiment,” said McDonald. “I love to mix different paints and materials—latex, acrylic, resin, spray paint—and I enjoy working on unconventional sizes and surfaces like murals, wood, metal, and even face painting. It’s a joy to now share this passion with others in the community.” Join Renee and register at https://shorturl.at/8A2vs

The morning kickoff is sponsored by Mediacom and serves as a creative launch to the broader Spring Sip & Shop, running from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM across participating businesses in Webster City. Shoppers will enjoy exclusive promotions, spring-themed activities, local tastings, and even live demonstrations throughout the afternoon. Whether you're looking to get creative, refresh your spring wardrobe, or enjoy the joy of shopping local, this event has something for everyone.
