šŸšØ A Big Announcement

We've got a pretty big announcement, plus its opening weekend for the Trash Pandas and a look ahead at some fun things to do!

Happy Tuesday!

It might be April Foolā€™s, but what Iā€™m about to tell you isnā€™t a joke.

Over the last month, weā€™ve been hard at work creating our new web app. And weā€™re finally ready to share it. You can check it out here.

With the app, youā€™ll be able to scroll through upcoming events, discover new places to eat, and more.

Iā€™m still in the early stages of building it, so Iā€™ll be adding new features over the coming weeks. But for now, check it out and let me know what you think.

Oh, and be sure to save it to your home screen (like an app) so you can easily get back to it. There should be a popup that will show you how to do it.

Alrighty, letā€™s get to it!
