We unfortunately must cancel our spring collection events. Due to the nature of these events, they may require personal space contact, and we don’t want to jeopardize residents, volunteers and employees to any potential health risks. Once business bans are lifted and large-group gatherings are no longer restricted, with time permitting and vendor and municipal host availability, I will do my best to reschedule our cancelled events for later this year.
In lieu of the cancellations, once normal business hours resume:
