Talkin Bout Blue Skies
Friends, we have officially made it back! Now that the storm has passed we have nothing but blue skies, and with that we moved back into our home. Many thanks to Duffy Moon our fantastic landlords, the utility companies, and all the employees, who dug in and got us back so quickly. Also special thanks goes out to FreconFarms (www.freconfarms.com) for giving us a home away from home! As a result many of Frecon's customers were happy to have Hard Bean coffee in the store, so starting in a few weeks we are going to keep them supplied with fresh brew pots and they are going to keep us supplied with fresh fruit so we can step up our smoothie game.
All activities are resumed so come on out and join in the many different events from yoga, to games, to music, and more.
Peace
