Sun 5/2 - First Sunday Arts Festival is back!  And it looks like they’ll be back in their full glory, once again.  Last year things were a mix of virtual and the first block of West Street, but this year it looks like they’ll be back at Whitemore Park and the second and third block of West Street as well!   Local artists could use a boost, after this last year… be sure to get out and support them!   But also, wear a mask where it’s crowded and be safe in the process.
