Fabulous First Friday falls on April Fool's Day

First Friday on Main Street is April 1 -- no fooling!

Stroll down Payson's historic Main Street from 5-8 p.m. and experience great bargains, good fun, and, best of all, the many spirits and ghosts who inhabit the Rim Country's storied past.

DOWN THE STREET ART GALLERY
Don't forget to stop by Down The Street Art Gallery as it celebrates it's 5th Anniversary. Enjoy a bubbly toast and anniversary cake while you wander the Gallery. We will have four of our artists demonstrating: Bob Gleason:basket weaving, John Gould:pottery, Geri Gittings:gourds and Dan Basinski:wood display. It is fascinating to watch the artists and even more interesting to chat with them while they create.

BOOTLEG ALLEY
Just in time to fill those Easter baskets, the Soroptimists will be selling See's chocolates at Bootleg Alley Antiques & Art during First Friday festivities. As always, owners Ken and Brenda Mooney will be treating those gathering on their porch to a concert. This month's music is by one of Payson's favorites, John Carpino. Light refreshments will be served.

COMMUNITY PRESBYTERIAN ENCHILADAS/ENTERTAINMENT
A chicken enchilada dinner with all the fixings, dessert and drink, plus music by Anything Goes, will be held at Community Presbyterian Church during First Friday festivities.  Cost is $5 with all the proceeds going to the Child Learning Center.

ARTISTS OF THE RIM
Two new artists will be welcomed during First Friday festivities, David Sanchez (ceramics) and Myles Andre Gaehler (African ceramic masks).  In addition, Peggy Gould's paintings and prints will be half price and John Gould will be demonstrating pinch pots.  The Goulds are moving out of the area.

HUMANE SOCIETY/SR. CENTER THRIFT STORES
Don't forget the Main Street thrift stores during First Friday.

Everyone is invited to join in the fun that is First Friday on Historic Main Street.
