Saturday, June 9, 2007
Dive in to discover the creative depths and mysteries of your fellow citizens . . . and of yourself. Free of charge, and open to the public (of all ages) 12:00-6:00 p.m. Saturday, June 9th, drop in to this unique “tent of mirrors” and put your feet up with a beverage (and food, too!). But be warned . . . the friendly chap you meet inside might suddenly break into raucous song . . . and the mysterious woman that you exchanged pleasantries with a few tables away might decide to climb up on her chair and deliver a charged monologue.
