COMING THIS WEEK!

Our BIRTHDAY/EASTER/BIKE celebration will take place next SUNDAY, APRIL 17th from 11am-1pm. Brian Spinner and Vicki Phillips had the idea to host a PARK TO PERK BIKE AND BUNNY RIDE from Wash Park (Exposition and Downing) to Wash Perk. We are encouraging all participants to decorate bike and/or themselves and enjoy a fun short procession behind the Easter Bunny and our new COFFEE BIKE. We’ll leave park at 10:45 am and head to shop where we’ll enjoy FREE TREATS, PHOTOS with BUNNY, LIVE MUSIC (Jeff Friedlander and Friends) and CRAFTS for kids.

Debbi and I and all of us here at Wash Perk feel so grateful for all of your support in getting us to our 3rd Birthday. THANK YOU.
