The first exhibit - Wine containers was very successful
with approximately 18 entries. I made the mistake of
scheduling the teapot exhibit too close to Hycroft--
sorry about that. But you have some advance notice for
the coming ones so get busy and join the fun.

The monthly newsletter will continue however we will
alternate with the Craft Contacts newsletter. Our news
