We will have LIVE MUSIC, photos and treats with Easter Bunny and a “mini Tour de Fat”: we invite kiddos to decorate themselves and their bikes and join the Easter Bunny and our new Perk Cycle in a procession from Wash Park to Wash Perk at 10:30 am , “Park to Perk, Bunny and Bike Procession”.

GOODBYE to Katie Walker

This Wednesday will be the last official shift for our much loved Katie…. she is continuing her passion and career in photography with a full time position. She will always be welcome back and so if we’re lucky, we’ll see her smiling face intermittently around the shop, behind the counter or enjoying a book on her off days. We wish her well always.
