Bluegrass band with live music, for inspiration
1. Fuel up for shopping with a breakfast pastry from Bonaparte Breads (also good for showpiece desserts).
2. While dinner ideas percolate, take time for a caffeine break, courtesy of Hondo Coffee. Future activities will include composting lessons, bike repair workshops, and charity donations.
3. Amass items in your tote.
4. For assistance, stay tuned for planned chef demos.
