I went to an event at the Venice Gardens Community Center on Shamrock Blvd. yesterday Feb 1. Foot traffic was very light and even not many vendors were there. It's pretty early in this half of the season.

I also updated the cover to Honey Tree Farm. for this one I used Canva. I'd never used this platform before so it took a couple tries before I got it right.
