Wow, an outside event actually organized by the merchants. Way to go, Ill bet it will be a blast, this town needs more of this. Usually it seems like the same 5 people have their hands in everything “arts” and they end up benefiting everyone but the artists. Id like to see more of this.
Is the glass blower making bongs? Id so be there
I’am inclined to believe the local P.D. would have a problem with the glass blower. creating ”Bong’s” on the street. just come on out and show your support.
Ah, yeah, sorry. There wasn’t nor will there ever be any such items put out by any of our businesses. This was an event that supported the artists, provided entertainment for the locals and visitors, educational exhibits and a day to enjoy all of the participating businesses that are there year round and show off their wares. For those that did attend, I hope you enjoyed this event and Thank-you! From Tom and Tina at White Rabbet Gallery & Custom Framing.
