The 3rd Friday Fling in the Springs

The 3rd Friday Fling in the Springs on February 20 marks an historic event for the community, the 10th Anniversary of the Whitehall “Save the Farm” effort. As a result of the hard work, generosity and cooperation of citizens and elected officials in Yellow Springs and the region, this historic farm on the northern edge of Yellow Springs will remain agricultural. Join the festivities in Yellow Springs with shopping, gallery hopping and dining all evening.
Special events include a celebration of Tecumseh Land Trust during the wine tasting at The Emporium/Underdog Café where G. Scott Jones will perform starting at 6:30. Around the corner at Main Squeeze, you can learn how to your own wine from 7:30 - 9:30 pm.
The Art Space at 108 Dayton St. will be hosting an Open Mic Poetry Night hosted by John Booth and Matt Housh with an art exhibit by Sarah Strong. The reception starts at 6-9pm with refreshments and kids’ poetry crafts. Stop into Yoga Springs Studio next door to The Art Space for a session of Happy Hour Yoga at 6:00.
As a special treat, see Mr. Universe “Looking for Love in YS” from 2BSDesigns, a multimedia art display shown on the Short St. wall of Downing’s Hardware.
The critically-acclaimed movie “Slumdog Millionaire” will be playing at the Little Art Theatre at 7 and 9:25.
