The artisans of the 4th Avenue Gallery hosted a New Year/New Look open house Friday evening for new homeowners or folks who want to redecorate and add a local touch with one-of-a-kind Pocahontas County creations. In addition to the wonderful arts and crafts, attendees enjoyed a supper of soup, bread and hot tea. Above, members of the gallery pose for a photo.
