Christy LaRoy said… - You listed the Reeds Lake art show as your favorite, I'm guessing you do well there? And do you do anyother shows in Michigan?

- Hi Kim,
Your storefront looks inviting! Do you do shows plus the gallery?
Just doing shows is stressful enough for me. I am hoping to get into Reeds Lake this year, looks like a nice show.
Let's hope for a fruitful Year,
Kevin
