This is our favorite event of the Spring show season. Not only is the show itself well attended but the staff is enthusiastic and you can't help but catch at little of the delta fever. The show kicks off Friday night with the patron party and silent auction. Food music and fun, as the artists rub elbows. Then Saturday bright and early tents are popping up filled with some of the finest artwork in the southeast.

By far the belle of our ball was our new twig window shelf.
