 What places do your kids like to visit?

"I like to take my grandson to the Smith River Sports Complex to climb on the outdoor slides and wobbly seats.  He is almost three and he will climb until his legs shake and he laughs each time." 

Where do you go to enjoy Martinsville-Henry County's arts-and-entertainment scene?

"Every other year, Piedmont Arts has a quilt show. The quilts are beautiful!" 

What is the most interesting tidbit about The Sewing Studio?
