The public is invited to attend The Harlow’s Barn Party, a fun and unique fundraising event taking place Saturday, June 29, 2019 in East Winthrop.
During the day, 15 Artists will be making artwork on location in response to the numerous beautiful, historic barns of Old Village Road in East Winthrop.
