Back to school is closing in so good luck to all the parents and those of you that are the uncles and aunties that support team.

While you are shopping consider a child that’s starting school but doesn’t have school supplies or clean underwear. If you could while you are shopping buy an extra pack of pencils or an extra pack of socks for another child in need. That would be awesome!

Whatever ad revenue we make here. We are donating that to getting some school supplies for the kiddies or underwear through September.

Now thanks to our sponsor 1440 Media. We afford to buy either pencils or a pack or two of socks.

Here are some events going on around town when you need a break from work and school shopping.

Volleyball Social

Get ready for a volleyball experience like no other—perfect for those who love the game but aren't looking to join a league! Whether you’re here to learn the ropes, play a casual game, or simply meet other outdoor enthusiasts, our Volleyball Social is where the fun happens.

This event is all about good vibes, new friends, and planning your next big adventure. Sure, there’s volleyball, but we’re not about intense rallies all night long. Instead, we focus on connecting, laughing, and sharing stories of past and future adventures.

Every month, we draw a crowd of 30 to 80 fun-loving folks who are just as excited as you are to get outside and play. We’ve got our event posted on all the internet calendars, so if you want to see who’s in, just check out the RSVP list at the bottom.

Not in the mood for volleyball? No problem!
Many people come just to chill on the large patio, where you can join a friendly game of cornhole or ping pong. With a full kitchen and bar boasting 30+ taps, there’s something for everyone.
