IT SNOWED ON OUR PARADE!!!

We are completely moved into our new building, but the parade of art was cancelled due to the snow storm last weekend. On Monday and Tuesday loyal (and strong) volunteers moved everything across the street, dodging snow plows, slush, traffic and puddles. Others unpacked, worked on displays, swept, hooked up plumbing, vacuumed carted stuff up and down stairs and we are now operational and looking good.
