Care for an extra door prize entry?👀🎟️

Before our assistant manager, Ashley, came on board, she founded Palerosa, an herbal tea business! Between the 24/7 job of being a mom and assistant managing for us, she doesn't do a lot of sales or markets. But, we're grateful that each year she shows up double for one of our biggest events - the tea social! Of course, all the tea is personally mixed, brewed, and provided by her. Give her small business page a follow for an extra entry!
