FARMINGTON – A workshop titled, The Art of Display: Beautiful Windows and Intriguing Interiors will be held 7:45 am – 9:00 am on Wednesday, April 27 at the Homestead Restaurant.
Please join the Farmington Downtown Association for this informative workshop led by Linda Edgerton, CMSM of Edgerton & Company.

Immediately following the workshop, Edgerton will be available for pre-scheduled half-hour consultations for five businesses at a cost of $25 each. A sixth business will be eligible for a door prize – a FREE half-hour consultation also conducted after the presentation which will be drawn at the beginning of the workshop.
