The Castle Express is not traveling far this Saturday as we head into downtown Brunswick for the City's Independance Day festival. I will have my books for sale from 10-5 and will be located on West Potomac Street. I am happy to say that I will spend the day next to Monica who will be offering Scentsy products for sale. Stop by to see us this Saturday.
