    Family drive

    This was a very interesting drive. We were able to go to many different craft shops. The Trolley with more stops would have been nice, but there is free parking and the loop was very nice.

    Crafts Galore!

    We spent a day here and still didn't have time to see all the different types of crafts. They have everything imaginable and you can watch the artist ply their trade.
