Good to know

  • The house itself is part of the draw: it was built in 1923 for Arthur and Grace Carpenter, and the city bought it in 1966 as home for what was then the Rome Art and Community Center.
  • Ladies Night includes wine, so it's an adults' evening. The weekend shopping days are the easy pick with kids.
  • Parking details and a vendor list weren't published.

Same weekend in Rome: the Uvanni Motors blood drive on Nov. 14.
