Kellie’s Calendar Picks: March-April
When I used to work for the newspaper as a photographer, I always knew what was going on in our area. Now that I am a destination wedding and portrait photographer, I constantly forget what is happening! To help others like myself, I have compiled a short little list of fun festivals and events that will be going on the rest of this month throughout April. For a more detailed list of events, visit the HHI Chamber of Commerce.
Hope to see you out and about!
