Here's the info for that craft show I mentioned. It sounds like it's going to be great!

Join Fly Bird and Sheriff Peanut
on Sunday, May 25th from 12-8pm
for the first ever CONSTRUCTOR Craft Fair.

CONSTRUCTOR will be held at FitzGerald's (6615 Roosevelt Road, Berwyn) and will give you the opportunity to shop goods from over 30 of the most talented crafters in the Chicagoland area, hand-picked by the Fly Peanut for your crafting pleasure. Your ears will revel in the sweet jams of local Dj's while you nosh on food from Wishbone and local pastry artisans. And, of course, the opportunity to belly up to the beloved bar at Fitzgerald's for a drink or two, should not be missed. The first 50 attendees at this event will receive a super fabulous bag of swag delight. Admission is FREE.
This exciting, inventive, design-loving craft experience is one you should be sure not to miss!
