What a great day Saturday was, from the encaustic painting demonstration of Dee Santorini to the front porch music of Manley Roberts. to the wine and charcuterie plates. If you missed it, you missed a treat.
The next artist show will be July 18 featuring Raphaella Vaisseau, and what an experience that will be. Her bright, colorful flowers will cool off the hottest summer day. More details on that coming.
Again, thanks to Dee for Saturday's show that included audience participation. Check out her video on the site below!
