Over the weekend, we took advantage of one of the first sunny days in a few days and went over to the Tate Street Festival. Of course it’s well known how much we love street festivals here at NCP headquarters. What we especially loved was that it was small, intimate and the vendors there were selling exactly the quirky art and handmade things you’d expect at a street festival. Plus, all the brick-and-mortar vendors and portions of the college campus adjacent were open, there was a decent music stage and of course, the nice sunny weather. A snapshot of the festival from Kristen’s Instagram below, then onward to the news for your Monday:
