Oh, the places you'll go ...
The sun is out and the sky is blue, but the streets and parks are empty due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. As a result, my outdoor event schedule for 2020 is mostly kaput. While I am personally hopeful the fine arts and crafts shows will get back on track this fall in time for the holiday season – it’s kinda outta my hands. Please check back here for further updates. And remember: You can always shop online!
