🐝 March Madness is Upon Us

Happy Monday Franklin.

You might be wondering why you’re getting this email on Monday and not Thursday.

There have been requests for an additional email that covers weekly events, live music, and other news.

Therefore, moving forward, there will be an email that comes out on Monday that covers everything going on Monday - Thursday and another email that comes out on Friday that covers Friday - Sunday.

Good news: warmer weather and longer days are ahead. Tomorrow is spring!

We made it.

But…..

We probably have a few days of 30 degree weather at some point during the next month so don’t box up all of your warm clothes just yet.
