Come join us for the next Sunday Funday tomorrow, 27 August 2017 from noon to 6 PM along Rue du Grand Fromage in the historic Cotton District of Starkville, MS. About 20 tents with local artists will be present, Scooter's Records will again be selling sweet vinyls, and we will have live music all afternoon showcasing some of our amazing local talent. Of course, our buds at Two Brother's Smoked Meats will open their doors with a limited menu and beer sales!

So come on out and spend a relaxing afternoon in the Cotton District looking at art and listening to music! Joseph and I will again have a tent full of art with a blend of affordable prints and originals! As always, we will have some new things to check out. Thanks again to Chalet Arts for their support, to The Greater Good Collective for the event, and to the Camp family for cooperation with the event, and to the local businesses involved such as Two Brother's Smoked Meats.

Last Sunday, May 28th, marked the inaugural Sunday Funday arts and music  day in the Cotton District of Starkville, MS. The event was sponsored by the newly formed organization called The Greater Good Collective, whose mission is to foster community oriented events, especially art related. The day started out rainy, and we had to move the start time from 11 AM to 12:30 PM, but then it was beautiful. Joseph and I set up our tent, and the entire road of Rue du Grande Fromage was filled with artists, artisans, musicians, dogs, kids, and grownups! Two Brother's Smoked Meats opened up to serve select food and beverages, 929 Coffee had a nitro coffee and tea cart, and the Poporium had selections of gourmet popcorn. One end of the road featured live music and the other had records being played by Keatzi Gunmoney at Scooter's Records! All in all, it was a great and successful first Sunday Funday. The next one will be on June 25! Here are a bunch of photos I got from the event.

Thanks a bunch to the Camps of the Cotton District for allowing us  to set up there, to Two Brothers Smoked Meats, to Chalet Arts, and to all the great volunteers!
