When they’re available, a Saturday food tour lets you sample a little here and a little there.
When you’re in the mood for shopping, you’ll find art galleries, and stores offering jewelry, clothing, costumes for parties, magic tricks, and treats for your pets. You can wander through the aisles of a real general store or the open air farmer’s market.
If you’re ready for some entertainment, the Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theater is usually the place for movies, plays, and concerts, but currently, you can rent the theater for private movie showings.
