Ukulele Week a Success!

Boy that was fun! Our Ukulele building workshop was a wonderful success. The big surprise, when offered the option to paint their Uke or to burn them - all, down to the last - opted … to burn. Those are some hot Ukuleles man! For those interested in still building (and burning) one, we have a few left over and you may purchase one with instructions, and build it yourself at home. Or, you can wait ’til summer when we plan to do it all over again!
