We are off to our first holiday show of the season tomorrow, at the local community college, KVCC. This is usually a very well attended show with hundreds of artists all with unique and very creative wares! I look forward to this show every year.

Have a good show! It's nice to get out and socialize and get feedback, too.
Hope you have a wonderful show. I love the idea of "guess that stone" and chocolate is always a wonderful addition to any activity. Might not want to try that in August though, I suppose.
