Happy Holidays!

2009-12-23T16:37:13Z

Greetings to you!

We are open today, Wednesday Dec 23 from 11-7. Come in and get those last minute gifts - maybe something for yourself!

Fool's Mansion will be closed Dec 24th -Dec 29 so that we can celebrate the holiday with our families. We will reopen on Wed Dec 30 at 11 AM!

If you haven't had a chance to check out the Krampus Art Show, you don't know what you are missing. 21 artists, one theme - the legend of Krampus! The show will remain in our Gallery until the beginning of January - amazing artwork, originals, prints, many mediums. Don't wait until next December (Yes, there will be a Krampus show in 2010!)

From all of us here at Fool's Mansion - Have a Happy Holiday!
