Saturday, April 17 2:00pm-5:00pm – SCRABBLE CHALLENGE! Last month no one was able to beat me at Scrabble (okay, I guess, technically, since I didn’t show up, no one played against me). I will return this Saturday with a vengeance.

Friday, May 7, 5:00pm-7:00pm The Lonesomes! LIVE! “The Lonesomes play the kind of twisty, dreamy alt country that makes a perfect soundtrack to summer afternoon barbecues” (not my words). What a BUSY Friday the 7th we are going to have. This foursome plays some incredible music and will be here playing in little MILWAUKIE! Weather permitting, we will set up for an OUTSIDE venue. Anyone want to guess if it will rain?

A great month of activities coming your way. Stay tuned for MORE!

We are exploring the possibility of having a local talent Wednesday night LIVE! Music performed by local artists EVERY Wednesday evening. Make your hump day something to look forward to… I’ll let you know when this will be starting.

Thank you to all of our valued customers.

Ed Parecki and crew.
