SUNDAY

You might have noticed, this is the second event from Milepost 5 on the calendar. I’m doing my best to keep up with all the events and happenings in the neighborhood, but since I live here and am on the board of the non-profit our events definitely on my radar.
We’re working on hosting more events here, and being a resource for neighborhood gatherings and arts education— for neighbors as well as residents.
I’m more than pleased to feature and am more than happy to promote neighborhood gatherings… so if your business, church, or group is hosting events, please let me know.
