The Wee Forest Folk Museum Gala is currently undetermined. It will not happen in the Spring as we were hoping. The factory is focusing on new releases and making sure pieces are readily available for stores and collectors. We know this is a disappointment, and appreciate everyone's continued support. Should any plans change, we will send out an announcement and post details immediately. Have an amazing year!
