The sub-zero, morning forecast of February 20, 2025, did not dissuade those who enjoy Third Thursday gatherings at The Loft on Main. For the 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. hours, it was zero degrees outside the gallery. Inside 112 E. Main Street, Morrison, IL, 21 attendees were comfortable–warmed by hot beverages, baked items, and convivial conversation.
