We're Singin' in the Rain Friday, March 3rd Beginning at 5:00 p.m.   "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" the old saying foretells, so the first Friday in March, IN VUE plans to embrace the unpredictable weather with our "We're Singin' in the Rain" event. Since March is National Umbrella Month, we'll honor this indispensable, 3,000 year old contraption by rewarding shoppers with our brand new, signature IN VUE umbrella! We'll also celebrate the classic movie "We're Singin' in the Rain" by presenting an evening of pure nostalgia.  Shop and dine with the warm feeling you've been transported back to a simpler, easier time. Dust off your old top hat or fedora, don your favorite trench coat and galoshes or even your dancing shoes. If it rains this evening, show off your own unique umbrella. If it's dry, twirl that old parasol you wondered how you'd ever use. This is one Shop Bellevue! where we can sincerely say "Bring on the wet stuff - we're ready for you!"  NKY Restoration Weekend Friday, March 10  Professional Series providing free CEU sessions for architects and planners.

Mike's love for woodworking grew over time. Eventually, he created his own shop in his Syracuse, New York basement where he started to make furniture for his family. This evolved into making custom furniture for those wanting something unique or to fit into a particular space. Mike won an award for one of his cabinets at the Northeastern Woodworkers Show in Saratoga Springs, New York. As time went on, he developed a desire to make wooden toys winning 1st place in the Senior Division of the New York State Fair and Best in Show for his wooden toys. Since moving to Kentucky, Mike is enjoying exhibiting at craft shows.  Some of his toys are for small boys and girls.  Some are collectable toys for big boys and girls.  Mike enjoys woodworking particularly watching the joy when people view the toys he created.  Mike's toys can be seen on Facebook at Facebook.com/ShurWood Forest.  He also will create a custom design just for you.   You can reach Mike at shurwoodforest@gmail.com.
