Happy Monday!

Wanted to give a little bit of a mid month update.

Friday is our 3rd Annual Trunk or treat. October, 30th from 5:30-7:30pm
If you are hosting a car and want to decorate before the event we will be there at 5 to start set up.
We will be secretly picking the “Best car costume” by an anonymous judge!
We will also be having two food trucks for the event. Jurassic Grill, and Toms! We are very excited to have them!

Since I had a lot of people questions about apparel sales and why we didn’t offer fun colors. We made it happen! Our merch sale will be live from now till November 15th!
