Sharing Talents: Music, Words and Movement

Sunday, November 13, 2:00pm

This special event showcased local talent and was a benefit for a gun safety initiative called “Guns to Garden Tools”.

Even if you missed the live event, you can still learn about this program, in which people can surrender their guns and have them melted down and hammered into garden tools by local blacksmiths. The Sharing Talents event featured music, poetry, and more.
