A huge THANK YOU to the hard-working, and fun(!), community members who came together today to make sure that one of the City’s treasures is kept in good repair - a perfect way to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We never take our volunteers for granted, and we couldn’t do the work we do without all of you.

It’s always fun here, but today it is literally party, party, party! Three celebrations, lots of independent crafters, and a couple great volunteers working on projects. If you are thinking about having an event at PCA, we’d encourage you to book early because the weekends this spring and going into summer are starting to really fill up.

Thank you Fernando, Alphonso, Travis Cortez and Shawna L Nulf and Eli!
