FARMINGTON ANTIQUES & DESIGN WEEKEND

AND IT RAINED?



CATS AND DOGS?



WELL NOT EXACTLY... BUT, YES, RAIN WAS EXPERIENCED AT MIDDAY ON SATURDAY.
 ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING CAN HAPPEN WHEN THE SETTING IS OUTSIDE,  WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS IN THE MID 70's,  AND THE SUN SHARES THE SKY WITH A FEW CLOUDS.
BEING OUTSIDE IS GREAT.


BONNIE & DAVID FERRIS

YET, SOMETIMES IT RAINS. NOT TOO BAD IF ONE IS PREPARED.   MOST DEALERS AT FARMINGTON HAVE TENTS TO STAY DRY AND WISE SHOPPERS KNOW TO PACK AN UMBRELLA.

IF NOT BRING A BOAT!

BENTING & JARVIS
