CFAC mentioned in 2010 Rand McNally Atlas!

Carolina Foothills Artisan Center is mentioned in the new 2010 Rand McNally Atlas! We are included with a number of other great places to visit along a road trip that Rand McNally folks mapped out that goes from Rock Hill to Greenwood.

Being mentioned in the Atlas is a big deal to us because this is a NATION-WIDE publication!

Here is a link to the press release page sent out by Greenville Convention & Visitors Bureau:

Sad News to Share

I had a phone call today (May 14, 2009) from one of our artists, Fred Mead, and he told me that his wife has passed away. They are having visitation at McMahan Funeral Home in Rutherfordton, NC on Friday (May 15) evening from 6-8 p.m. and the services are on Saturday morning (May 16) at 11:00 at the same funeral home.

Our deepest sympathies and condolences go out to Fred and his family.
