Trip Report/Photos
4 of us GO members and one surprise guest joined in for the tour of Wheaton Village in Southern NJ. Lots of beautiful glass exhibits all over, great weather for walking in the park, very interesting glass blowing demos as well as a few other art demos (pottery, bead making, etc.). Very nice company to spend the day with during this walk. Check out the pics of all the beautiful items they create. You gotta get there. A true art treasure of NJ.
