Fiber arts gathering last time with Gathering Bliss Crochet ◈ Heidi Nieling was such a hoot, it’s time to reboot! Pack your yarn tote with project materials. Come hang and craft!

Sunday, October 18, 1-3 PM. Don’t need to buy a thing! Bar will be open, but the intention of this is community and crafting for the sake of happiness.

Gathering Bliss Crochet ◈ Heidi Nieling will have a rotary cutter in tow if you want to make a sweet refashioned t-shirt, poncho, or dress 😊

We recently had the privilege of sitting down with both Rochester Mayoral candidates Dr. Jess Garcia for Mayor and Powers For Mayor for one-on-one conversations.

We discussed local policy and especially loved the opportunity to get to know them better as people.

Check out the full interviews on The Shoe’s YouTube and Spotify (links in description).

Big thanks to both candidates!
