Thanks to everyone who was supportive over the past week, it really meant a lot. Thanks to the Howell family, @mayormeganbarry ,and special thanks to @thompsonmachinery for letting us borrow a lift, which made things SO much easier. And of course, many thanks to @nathanbrown77 & @sprantlers for their support and help painting! Looks like we may have to postpone Saturday's festivities due to weather, but we're hoping to reschedule soon! Till then, be well & go tell an artist you know you appreciate them. They'll be happy to hear it, trust me - Adrien.
