May is full of fun events!

Timothy Latham provided the Hillcrest Farmers Market with fascinating entertainment on Sunday, May 2nd. His portrait display and live demonstration were admired by thousands of market patrons who stopped to view his work. Despite the cloudy weather on Mother’s Day the flower potting activity was eventful and spirited! Children as well as adults were able to decorate their own pots and plant a flower in it as a gift for mom.

Although the Artist at the Market as well as Mother’s Day arts and crafts events have passed, we have many more exciting events in May to look forward to.
