Washington is upon us…

We love our weather and we definitely could use the rain, but it does mean that we will be rescheduling tomorrow’s painting party to the following Saturday, August 23rd, 11-2pm.

Thank you to our excellent Partners at the Tacoma Public Library and to our Artist Jesse Peterson we are able to pivot smoothly and enjoy the rain! See you on the 23rd!

Fern Hill Painting Party! We hope to see you there! Questions? Email us at senco253@gmail.com.
