Thanks for a second opportunity to see and meet these folks and Barbara Kellogg's show. The opening reception was a white-out-no-driving event out here in central Madison County.

Glad you enjoyed it! It's amazing how the weather has changed from the opening to the closing of this show. It's at least 60 and sunny today!
