“Flights of Fancy has been a very successful event that I've greatly enjoyed participating in,” said Kimberly Pedrick, owner of Idiom on Chapel Street. “It is a fun and festive evening that exposes my business to hundreds of people and results in several new customers for me. I'm very much looking forward to the third one!”
