Oh my this town is busy busy busy and just about all of it is FREE this weekend. Our Street Painting Festival has become one of the, if not the largest in the country. You’ve heard of location, location Lake Worth has just the right street grid for this type of event. Our’s is not exactly what I mean, it is owned by the Webber Gallery as Maryann Webber Pres. brought this great event to Lake Worth. It is implemented by the Central Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce. It takes well over 250 volunteers to make it happen, hence the alignment with the former Lake Worth Chamber in the beginning now with the Central PBC of C. We are the benefactors and owe a great deal of thanks to the Webbers. With over 50 thousand people expected over the two-day event everyone is benefitting. What else is going on, check out all the ART popping up all over. Have a great weekend.
