A Spirited, Wild Bunch!

Steve Meyer, winner of our coffee bike naming contest, and his MS150 team, The Wild Bunch, created an upbeat back drop on a dreary day this past week when 9News came to Wash Perk.  Jennifer Ryan introduced the video piece she created about our cargo coffee bike.   Steve Meyer won the naming contest when his submission, The Perkolator, received the most votes from customers.

Vince Nickols, the Team Captain and his Wild Bunch will cycle in the 2 day ride June 25th and 26th raising funds for The National Multiple Sclerosis Society.  Various members of the group will join our baristas at The Perkolator in Washington Park the weekend of June 4th and 5th.  Wash Perk will donate all proceeds from the weekend to the team and their MS 150 efforts.

 

AT THE PERK THIS WEEK:
