Our Regency Era Ball SOLD OUT in 3 weeks a few months ago so don't miss your chance to get in on the Fall action before these tickets are gone. www.heardcraig.org. Thanks to our friends at the Chamber of Commerce, we have moved into a bigger venue space (GATHER on the square) and so there will be plenty of room to dance, socialize, and enjoy.
