2013 We Started a New Tradition
Artists 4 Life in the Sound sponsored ~40 local businesses in our city in 15,000 maps that were distributed city-wide. We charged them nothing and encouraged others by word of mouth to patronize these businesses because they well represent the character and quality of our local community economy. This Season we continue the tradition online - scroll through categories above & support our city.
