FABULOUS FRIDAY ASHEVILLE CANCELLED The PLS planning committee for Fabulous Friday has had the entire Western NC community, including Asheville, on our minds this week. Given the extent of the damage in Asheville and the surrounding areas, we are unable to responsibly move forward with hosting Fabulous Friday there next week. Once the area has had time to recover, we may be able to consider a possible makeup date, but it definitely won't be this fall/for the foreseeable future. If you we’re registered please check your email for refund information.
