The artists were thrilled, the guests loved everything about the Fair and, of course, the Old Town Triangle Association is thrilled to be able to share the proceeds with our grant recipients and our neighbors through committee works. We could not do any of this without you.
Please do plan to join us on Friday, June 17th from 6 – 9:30 as we celebrate YOU! This is our way of thanking you for your time, your kindness, your inconveniences, and for being you!
