The Second Saturday Art Walk celebration on April 11, the year’s first in the springtime, is perfect for taking advantage of the season.
Merchants will have their doors wide open as usual, ready to welcome people strolling the streets of Old Town, enjoying the seasonal weather and the live music while being part of the festivities. Both of April’s Second Saturday Hot Spots - Carroll House Bed & Breakfast and the Hancock County Historical Society home - are known far and wide for their warm hospitality as well as their charming history.
