I'll be there with my native flowers and such. And I'll probably get spoiled by having my Greg with me this time. : )

Along our Main Street Corridor... a 'save-the-date' announcement: "The annual Oak Street Art Fair is on! Saturday, April 26th, 2025, 10 am to 5 pm, rain or shine. It takes place in the Murphysboro historic district (Oak and 16th Streets) adjacent to the General John A. Logan Museum. The fair features over 40 artists with every type of art medium you can imagine. Music will be provided by a different musician(s) every hour. We will have food trucks and award-winning Alto Vineyard wine. Art activities for all ages will be available throughout the day. Come join us for the day!" 🍎🎨🍏
