Smarty Scoop on Weekend Events

By Katie M

Happy Wednesday, Smarty readers! We hope you had a great St. Patrick's Day yesterday. Even though we had no luck finding a parade in the Triad (trust me, we searched!), it looks like we've lucked out on an event-packed weekend! The weather is finally shaping up too so we may be able to pack those sweaters away for good...but let's not totally press our luck!

And don't forget the Sixth Annual Lilly and Smocked Clothing Exchange is happening next week! The sale opens to the public from 7:30 to 8:30 pm on Tuesday, March 24, and from 9:30 am to Noon on Wednesday, March 25. For details and directions, email the co-hosts:dwattleworth@triad.rr.com and jbwelsh@mindspring.com.
