Downtown New Bern on Carolina Creations Website

I have a new page on our Carolina Creations website where I will list what is going on that I know about in Downtown New Bern. The address is http://www.carolinacreationsnewbern.com/NewFiles/Downtown%20New%20Bern.html.


That's kind of long to remember so there will be a link in the link section of this blog. It is on the right side of your screen at the bottom of the list. So when you want to see what's happening you can click that link and go directly to the page. As I go along I will also have links to other shops website on that page as well.

The above is a print from an original watercolor depicting downtown from the Neuse River Bridge. For more information (and if you might want to purchase one!) click this link.
Today on the Downtown New Bern page there is information about our raku show, A book signing next week at The Next Chapter, Behind Closed Door Tour, and the Haunted Evening coming up.
I've just created this so it will take me a little while to get it more inclusive.
