**Postponed due to snow. Will be rescheduled.**I know I start a lot of these posts with "take a break from the holiday crazies"...but I mean it. Again, take a break from the season of running around and join us as we welcome artist and author Deborah Padgett.

Deborah is bringing tea and scones so that will be reason enough. But wait, there's more! Deborah will read from her latest novel, The Sea In Winter. Quality, local fiction would make a wonderful gift for anyone on your list. Just sayin....
