What a terrific way to celebrate our 16th anniversary! Thank you to all who donated to the breakfast food drive, and to the volunteers that helped organize, stuff and deliver the backpacks for 175 elementary and middle school kids. Great job! Thanks to Laura for helping us make this connection. After all . . . we are the backpacks pros!

Check out our Facebook photo album.

 

Join us for our monthly after hours gathering today -- Thursday, May 28th --- at Bubba's (428 E Front Street). It's our anniversary week so let's make it a big gathering. Thursday special at Bubba's is happy hour prices ALL DAY LONG!

Any time after 5pm is generally a safe bet.
