Carmel Seiffen Sister City

Talking about Nussknacker, Schwibbogen, Pyramiden AND the amazing families who make them in Seiffen and the Erzgebirge is our FAVORITE part of the season! ??

At last night's 1st Friday event, we celebrated 8 years of friendship and our communities coming together! The evening was a labor of love from our volunteers, friends, and local businesses in collaboration with our partners in Seiffen! If you find yourself near Behn Gallery in the next week, stop by to see the exhibit.
