This week’s show – Crosby Festival of the Arts

Friday, June 22nd, 2012

This weekend it’s the best summer festival of the year, the Crosby Festival of the Arts, live at the Toledo Botanical Gardens. Tune into A Firm Foundation early Saturday, 9:00 to 11:00 am. for interviews with at least 4 of the top artists in the show, plus other important information about the weekend.

The Arts Festival is both Saturday and Sunday and the weather looks perfect. Along with over 220 artists on display there will be live entertainment for the whole family. There is also a free air conditioned shuttle from the Walmart parking lot at the corner of Central and Holland Sylvania which save the inconvenience of trying to park near the Gardens.

On Monday construction continues, as we dig another basement at 609 Jacqueline Place, there are lots of construction pictures on our website.
