Revel in cozy kitsch winter dreams while enjoying live music, sipping gourmet hot cocoa, and posing for the camera at Foxley's Gallery in Appleton Downtown which becomes a dessert-lovers' paradise every Valentine's Day as local restaurants and businesses feature tasty chocolate treats. Inspired by retro sweater patterns and cheeky poses of the past, ADDY award winning photography artist Che Correa | Che Correa Photography will have an "Icy Instamatic" pop-up photo booth on site to capture knitwear fashion in all its Wisco-esque forms.

Makeup artist Aj Miller | VAMP by AJ Artistry will be on-site to help you look your glowy, rosy-cheeked, sparkly snowflake dusted best for your personal portraits with Che.

Photographer Mark Ferrell will have Fox Cities winter scene and abstract photography prints on display, custom sizes available.
