Leicester Craft Show 11/12/22
We had a great time and beautiful weather at the first-ever Leicester Craft Show at the Community Center! Thanks to Terry Lance for putting it all together. I had the pleasure of meeting a lot of really nice people. Most unusual was a visiting artist from Pittsburgh who was very encouraging and purchased some items. Her name is Vanessa German, she is a sculptor and writer. Thank you Vanessa for your support and insight, it meant so much to me.
