Asheboro Folks:
next Thursday night i will be in the Tot Hill Farm old oak barn...which is a slight change of plans...i was going to have it in the old farm house...i will still have a few things over there...partake in wine, beer, snacks, great music (the 2 man band, "our 2 cents" is playing for the first hour or so...then my ipod) and lots of great paintings, its bound to be a great night...hoping lots of folks will come check out the artwork and welcome fall in what is undoubtedly one of the prettiest spots in north carolina...
