Thanks to all who came to the Groovefest Rummage sale. It was a great success! The fall and spring sales have proven to be a simple way for the community to support Groovefest and we saw so many of you Saturday morning. Special thanks to the Groove Team for their continued dedication and service, to St. Jude’s Episcopal Church for providing us the space, to those who came to help organize and pack-up and to everyone who generously gave quality items to sell, especially one of our renowned local artists, Brad Holt, who donated three original oil paintings the proceeds of which went to Groovefest, all three paintings sold! More of Brad’s artwork can be seen on display at Artisans 94 West Center St., Cedar City. www.cedarcityartisans.com
