The open house takes place during the Arts Festival from 10am-2pm Friday and Saturday, June 13-14.

So, come rest those weary feet en route to or from the Arts Festival, or just stroll by with your dog or a friend and relax for a few minutes ... (The theater bathrooms will be open to the public, too.)

You can’t miss them. They will be dressed in hats, colorful vests, and bow ties. Their REST STOP sign will be posted outside the Theater at 950 Main St. (short distance from intersection of 9th and Main Street).
