Whoosh. Slippery slope of the holidays. Time for holiday cheer, Santa, and emergency-gotta-have-it-or-I'm-a-bum gifties. What's not to love? Third Degree Glass Factory has you covered. Stop by our Third Friday Free Party: December 16, 6 - 10 pm to get your holiday fix.

Santa's stopping by to check on our glassblowers. Naughty or nice? Shhh. It's vaulted. He's handing out candy and posing for pictures. Bring your camera, capture the moment, and share on our Facebook Page.

At The Gallery: December 16 - January 17
