Take a seat Chair-ity Walk
Businesses along Public Road, between Baseline Road and Kimbark Street in Old Town Lafayette. Maps at Cannon Mine Coffee, 210 S. Public Road.
Take a load off in Lafayette today, when 21 art chairs designed for the home and garden by local artists are on display as part of the town’s One Lafayette fundraiser for 15 non-profit organizations in the area. Buy a chair today – eight are available – or wait to bid on the rest at the Lafayette Wine Festival June 17. Our faves? D. Estes’ mod Lily Pad Barstool at Anspach’s Jewelry and Mary Pat Munding’s Birthday Throne, displayed at Mojo Coffee House, but we’d set a spell on Sara Rockinger’s quilted porch swing (see it at Noble Treasures) any afternoon.
