According to a study done by researchers at Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, 80% of all children do not like to eat vegetables.

According to a study done by yours truly, we are only 44% away from reaching our goal of $10,000 to benefit the Arts in Education Fund and the Care to Learn Fund!

And because you would probably be disappointed if I didn’t end with this cliché statistic, here it goes: You are 100% guaranteed to enjoy the following events offered this weekend including downtown festivals, great theatre, comedy, dance and symphonic delights!
