FIRST FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2015, KUDOS, 15 N MAIN, MT. VERNON, OH

Hello Kudos Friends -

It's hard to believe that it's First Friday time of year again.  Yet, this Friday, May 1,  is First Friday in Mt. Vernon.  There will be music and food vendors on the square and all kinds of activities downtown.

 Kudos would like to invite you to stop by and participate in our activities.  Gary Dreivelbis, our wonderful metal sculpturist, will be demonstrating his art.  Jami Ingledue, our amazing soapmaker will be singing and playing guitar.  There's a chance her musically talented daughter Leah will be joining her.  As usual, there will be yummy refreshments and beautiful art.

We will be open all day Friday, May 1,  from 10a to 5p and First Friday evening from 5p to 8:30 pm.

See you there!
