Skillet Garden Focaccia Bread: Kate’s Quick Bites:

We head into the kitchen where we learn about the Dublin Arts Council. The organization started as a committee to bring Columbus Symphony Orchestra to the dedication of Dublin’s Scioto Park, which is now the location of one of its weekly series. And of course, we’ll make a quick bite.
