The Women's Festival of Crafts will be held on Saturday, November 29 (10:00-5:00) and Sunday, November 30 (11:00-4:00) at City Hall on Church Street in Burlington. There will be 50 outstanding craftswomen with everything from pottery to jewelry to fabric arts to herbal gifts to greeting cards...and everything in-between.

The Burlington City Arts Holiday Market will host about 30 artists' work in City Hall on Friday, December 19 (11:00-7:00) and Saturday, December 20 (10:00-6:00). So, you can wait until the last minute to find what you need.

Happy Valentine's Day! I love sending Valentines out to LOTS of folks, not just my sweetheart. It's a great time of year, in the middle of the winter, to check in with friends and family to let them know how much you love them.

My father was probably the most positive influence in my life. One of my earliest memories is of my Dad showing me how to tie my shoes, the two rabbit ears way, on the back step of our old farmhouse...in the summertime. Throughout his life, he was generous and kind without regard. I have always hoped that I thanked him enough for all that he did for so many.
So, don't forget your own Dad this Father's Day! He'd love to get a card from you with a few gracious words.
Happy Father's Day to all of the Dads who have chosen to be a big part of raising their children!
