Artie Pants

I don't know about you, citizens, but I always love the Arts & Crafts on Bedford event. I've bought hand carved wooden bowls for my dad. I've bought plush tote bags for my mom. You don't have to make a purchase to have a nice time. There is great people watching, window shopping and an Imagination Station for kids.

The event is back, and you can check it out on September 25 & 26. There will be 75 boutiques up and down Bedford Street. No cars, just you and me and thousands of our closest friends. The Downtown Special Services District was kind enough to tell me which vendors we will see:
