Celebrate art during First Friday
This First Friday, local business Gustonian Gifts will be open in its expanded location in the former Rockstation, 357 Pine St. To celebrate the event, owners Denyse and Barb Miele will have live music by Isaiah Britton, and watercolors and photography by Donna Britton, both from 6 to 9 p.m. The mother-daughter business team has operated the store at 30 W. Third St. since 2005. Both stores will continue to be open. To them, variety is the key word of the business and the gift shop does its best to bring in an assortment of merchandise to meet the shopping demands of anyone who might walk into the store. Gustonian Gifts is known for carrying out-of-the-ordinary merchandise — items that might not be found at other stores around town. The store also has live entertainment and a new artist every First Friday. Hours at the store at the corner of Pine and West Fourth streets are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. First Friday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
