It's really here! The day I answer my question, "Is the week after Christmas too late to send out cards?"
With everyone's calendar so filled with holiday plans, the Arts Blast staff has decided to declare an office holiday, sending an abbreviated issue this Christmas Eve. On the Calendar at willimiller.com will be updated frequently and Facebook posts will still be shared, so maybe it won't really be a Christmas vacation, but thinking we're on break will be good for us. Petra's getting a scratching post under the tree, with instructions on how to use it. Shhh. It's a surprise.

Event schedules can change, often at almost the last minute. Verify, double check, and then do it again before you head out the door. And when you do go out, take a mask. Without one, you risk being turned away. |
