Celebrate in September with Annual Arts on Fire in Great Falls

Just because the Labor Day Weekend is coming up, that doesn't mean that folks are ready to pack it in for the summer or being outside.  Hardly.  I have plenty of golf pass left to abuse before snow flies.

And there is just as much opportunity to be outside enjoying festivals.  The Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art will bring that opportunity to the public in September, and the annual event is looking bigger than ever at "The Square".
