We had the BEST time making our Heart & Soul debut at Honesdale's Memorial Day Parade! A little rain in the morning wasn't enough to dampen our spirits and by the time we hit the parade route the energy was wonderful and every single bag found a home. People from all walks of Honesdale life showing up together is what this is all about! A huge thank you to everyone who stopped to chat, accepted a bag, and shared a smile with us along the way.

If you grabbed a bag at the parade with a question card inside, we'd love to hear your thoughts! Drop your response at any of our drop off locations around town or snap a pic and email it directly to [email protected].
