The Downtown Jonesboro Association's Alive After Five Event was awesome last night. It was super busy, but we had a blast. The beautiful Spring weather was almost perfect and lots of people came out to support the event.
We made some wonderful new friends. Christina Ballard of Ballard Farms and her lovely daughter brought farm fresh eggs to the market and demonstrated her amazing ability to spinning wool for the crowd. She plans to have fresh produce for next month's event. So, be sure to come & see her in April. It was nice to finally meet April Pillow, the Happy Poppers Kettle Corn vendor, that I had visited with on Facebook and I got to try that yummy popcorn.
We, also, saw lots of folks that we already knew. James & Mandy Tinker from Black River Beads & Pottery had a booth full of some of the wonderful things found in their shop in Pocahontas. Our neighbor, Jean Pearcy had a small gallery of artwork available for shoppers. The lovely ladies from the 8th Wonder Beadshop, who supply some of our beads, had a booth down the street from us. And Monica Alexander of Rustic Charm was out visiting with vendors.
We, also, got to visit with Brandi Hodges from the Craighead County Jonesboro Public Library about the Art on the Lawn Arts & Crafts Festival on April 12th. The Art of Victoria Morgan will definitely be attending. Be sure to come out and visit with us at the library, too.
April and successive months through the Summer will have two Alive After Five events on the first & third Thursdays. We look forward to seeing everyone again. If you are looking for an evening of entertainment, abundant shopping opportunties, & loads of good food choices come to the Alive After Five Art Stroll & Market in Downtown Jonesboro, Arkansas.
We would like to especially thank the wonderful ladies organizing the event last night. They were super nice and helped make us feel welcome in Downtown Jonesboro!
