SLO Down for September
September Updates From Making SLO
Happy September! Fall is knocking on the door, and our store is about to get even busier. We’ve got several new makers settling in, a couple of community events on the calendar, and plenty of reasons to stop by more than once this month. Be sure to come out and experience Art After Dark; it’s such a fun, unique event that ties in so many artists, businesses, locals, and visitors all together on one special night.
See you soon!
