Thursday Pot Luck Evenings are a special evening when Kassy opens The Wagon Shed to an informal meeting of like minds. This is a time for sharing everything from new projects, sampling out new designs, testing out a new idea, and for plain old fashioned socializing with friends who love the same things.
