Handmade Happenings - June 4-6, 2010

Several exciting events this weekend to keep you in the summer holiday spirit! The indieNC First Friday Market is part of the First Friday fun happenings in Downtown Raleigh. If you're a little farther south, stop by the Shops of Varina Merchantile or the Celebration of the Arts in Fuquay-Varina. Or, a little further north, visit the Granville Arts Festival, just this side of Oxford.
Hope to see you there!
