If I had the time and the money and the patience and even more money, then I would love to take this house on. This is a place with a lot of character on the outside and in a great quiet area close to town (we used to live around the corner briefly).
If you make it to any of these events then be sure to reply and let us know how it went! Also, if you want to see more or less of any event then just hit reply and tell me.
Every Thursday, get a huge list of things to do over the weekend. Every Tuesday, read about a local happening, a piece of history, person or place. No news, no politics - just the fun stuff!
