I’ll be exhibiting my hats at the Hyattsville Arts Festival on Saturday, September 13th! There will be over 70 exhibiting artists, live entertainment on 3 stages, and great food on the happening streets of Hyattsville. Last year, over 4,000 DC-area art lovers attended this great festival. This year visitors will also find exciting new housing to tour (I heard last year they had free wine tastings on the roof!) and new retail shops. Come see me!
