Rain or shine!

We love waking up to random things like someone getting an alert from Facebook that the mint fest was canceled! RAIN OR SHINE THE FESTIVAL IS HAPPENING! I mean clearly if its storming outside events may be postponed for safety reasons otherwise WE WILL BE HERE!

With that being said, if there is an emergency here is a map of our storm shelters.

REPEAT NOTHING IS CANCELLING THE MINT FEST 🤣🫠
