Last years show was a huge success, and this year is going to be bigger and better~ more art, more vendors, and more space! There is an $8 suggested donation to enter and it includes plenty ‘o PBR sponsored free refreshments. We got your cure for cabin fever!!

The fun continues with live music throughout the day~ we have 5 amazing bands performing.
