I'll be sending out an email newsletter soon but I am in the process of adding our events for June & July on the website. Most are "free to attend" events, some are RSVP and some might be workshops with tickets.

I'm adding more in tomorrow :) Feel free to comment and tell us what event you are most excited for!!

Personally, I think I'm most excited for our annual Dad's & Donuts event, we have done that event every year since we opened. I love it, an event where Dad doesn’t have to do anything. Just show up, drink coffee, eat a donut, and be appreciated. So fun!
