We held a Ribbon Cutting for Fifer’s Craft House & Deli and what a great time.  The children (including my grandchildren) painted a crab shell, they had bobbing for apples, and Katrina Krauss Photography/Freestate Photo Booths was there taking the pictures with many different props to choose from.  This is always a great hit for young and old.  This was an honor for me since I have known the twins, Billy & Richard since they were born and I am so pleased they have now opened up another business in Pasadena.  Stop in and check out their inventory and have a sandwich while shopping.
