This Sunday, September 28, Erasmus P. Kitty will play host to the most splendorous Great West & Railroad Square Handcar Regatta & Exposition of Mechanical and Artistic Wonders, aka The Handcar Regatta. The good doctor promises fun & frolic, song & dance, grace & beauty, and wonderful eccentricities. And free balloons for the kids! (Okay, I made up that last part, but *admission* is free).

Our very own Make Mobile will be on-hand along with folks from MAKE & CRAFT. Felting queen Brookelynn Morris and CRAFT editor Goli Mohammadi will be showing how to make felt soup-strainers in the afternoon from 2pm-6pm.
