Introducing Our New Misting Tent
We're excited to unveil our new Misting Tent this Saturday! Given the recent oppressive weather, our customers, volunteers, and vendors need a place to cool off and escape the sun. Thanks to our sponsor, Stephen's Auto Body, we now have that place! Look for the small light blue tent this Saturday and enjoy a refreshing break.
