Saturday November 12th 10am-5pm,
"Thank you for hosting the Family Art Fest and Salute to the Troops at Midtown Centre. This was a wonderful event with the perfect mix of arts and crafts, education and enlightenment, and good outdoor family fun. There was something there for everyone of all ages. Even my father-in-law who normally sits all through these events went missing several times to several booths! The atmosphere was relaxing and all of the people I met were wonderful, enthusiastic, helpful, and friendly. The troops were so engaging; even allowing the children to sit in the heavy machinery and use some of the controls. I can't wait to attend this event next year!"
Kind regards,
