If you couldn’t make it to the ARBA Convention this year, here’s a bit of news that might cheer you up. Juli LeeAnn Whitehaus did a wonderful job photographing the event, and is sharing her photos so all of us can enjoy them. She’s even given permission to share them as long as you don’t alter them. Thanks so much, Juli LeeAnn!
