If you’re an arts & crafts person, there’s still time to get down to the Ben Franklin craft store in town; heard that the last day it will be open is Saturday. Still some pretty good bargains to be had before the doors shut for good. And slightly off-topic: the BF corporate site offers a glimpse into and links about the man behind the name: He became famous for being a scientist, an inventor, a statesman, a printer, a philosopher, a musician, and an economist.


The store and people will be missed. Best wishes to Mark Davis and staff!
