We’re kicking off this Sunday in style with a special author signing you won’t want to miss. Come on out and meet EM Etheridge and enjoy some local community and treats while you’re here. And trust us, you’ll want to keep your calendar clear for August’s remaining fun, PLUS some big surprises we have in store for September!
But we’re not the only ones puttin’ on the ritz – our community theatre just gets better and better and better! If you haven’t gotten tix yet for Shrek at the Flowertown Players, and you can, do it, do it, DO IT! We saw the show on Friday’s opening night and it was brilliant. Great cast, set, costumes, direction, musical numbers, the whole package. We enjoyed an evening filled with genuine belly laughs for all ages; you will too!
