Staff Interview with Community Coordinator, Cornelia Clay

Cherrywood Art Fair rolls hand-crafted art, holiday shopping, indie music and family fun into a two day event that will keep the entire family enchanted and busy, busy, busy! Stop by Megan’s fancy hair braiding booth, drop by livemom.com’s holiday craft table and do some fun activities and learn about our wonderful non-profit partners in the community area. Be sure to catch the performance by the Aerial Sugar Squirrels and don’t be surprised if you or your kids want to run off to the circus! Follow us on social media or check out the line up in late November for all the glorious details!
