Make sure to come by and see what the artists at Lillstreet have been up to for the past 2 months.
Also, we will have music by the wonderful Andrew Francis! Andrew played for us during the December First Fridays and did an incredible job, we are so glad to have him back!
Be sure to stop by Lillstreet this Friday from 6-10pm when we will have our annual holiday party. It will overlap with our monthly First Fridays event. We will have food, music and art available for purchase.
