Lily Lady, I just want to tell you how impressed I am with the work you've put into this. It's a great resource--and will continue to be in years to come (even though dates may change, it will remind people what events to look for).
Thank you for the compliment, Caladium. The number of views keeps going up so I like to tell myself that people are reading it. I hope so anyway.
I know this is probably dating myself (yes, I'm old) but I'm especially looking forward to the fall festivals, fairs, craft shows etc. The events that don't cost so much to visit.
