More Progress!

We are so excited to share even more progress on the space! This past Saturday, we had a bunch of great volunteers that blew us away! We got so much more done that we had anticipated. We spent much of our time stripping out bad wiring and then everyone pitched in to work on chiseling away to expose the brick on the columns in the gallery area, as well as a few other things that needed to be done. It was quite messy, however we had a great time among friends and family! Thanks to everyone who pitched in to help us get a step closer to opening our doors!

Wish I had photos of everyone that helped out, but below are some highlights of the day!

I love this photo below:
As I took the picture prior to this, the flash went off just at the moment that Jason had clipped the wire. He thought he was electrocuted and it was all over.

Here he is looking towards the heavens!

Thanks again to all of our volunteers!
