Two big gigs this week. Canton Art museum Thursday, on the roof! This should be great fun! The folks at Arts In Stark are great to work with and always throw a heck of a party!

Then we lucked out with a rain date for the caboose, downtown Alliance this Friday. We had to cancel last Friday due to weather. It was a good call, the weather was nasty! But what luck! They had this Friday open and offered it to us!

Two great events! We're excited! Hope you can come out! Thanks!

Happy Summer!
