Absolutely beautiful art with both great design & craftsmanship.
I have been lucky enough to have experienced the music of Tinkham Road as well as a ghost tour and a Bigfoot tour! All three have been wonderful experiences and I look forward to more. Having grown up in the area it was really fun to hear the old folklore, songs and native beliefs that they didn't teach us in school!
