Join us on Saturday, December 13 from 5-7 at Grindhouse Cafe (Highland location) for another edition of Tell Us a Story, Highland! This month's theme: Holidays on Ice (which is a David Sedaris reference & basically a way to say anything holiday-related fits the bill!)

As always - this is a welcoming community event! It's not a competition. You are can use notes or speak off the cuff. We know December is busy, but grab a warm coffee and cozy up with us for a story.

Message us or email [email protected] to get on the list.

We want to thank our amazing volunteers! 👏 Dawn and Mary plan and organize this event each year for us. 👏 Marie checked in vendors and Connie helped keep the vendor parking lot moving smoothly.👏 Nico and Patti helped vendors find their booth locations inside the greenhouse, and Patti stuck around for a bit to help run our own booth with a kids' craft table and the 5x5s Small Works Fundraiser.👏 Nona and Marybeth also helped in our booth and helped Dawn and Mary take care of our vendors.👏 We could not have done it without each and everyone of them!👏 Want to get involved in bringing the arts to Highland? Join us at our next meeting! We meet the 1st Tuesday of the month at 6pm at Promise You Art House.

Well, that was a hot day but we got through it. Thanks to all the great vendors that sat through the heat with us and for making this year’s show stunning with all your wares. Thanks to the volunteers from Highland Arts Council for your help and a big thank you to Zandstra's Farm and Greenhouse for providing a beautiful space for our event these past four years.

We hope everyone has cooled off and is resting. We are looking forward to next year!
