Festive Fun Awaits + A Large Coffee on Us 🎄 + Your Response Needed

Friends and neighbors,

Here’s to the calm before the storm? 

The calendar is full of opportunity and I’m not yet feeling the crunch of the final holiday rush. So take time this weekend to enjoy the season’s highlights before they close. You can sip mystery wines, take your pup to snap festive photos with Santa, catch the last notes of a classic musical, or cozy up with caroling under the stars.

Whatever path you take, you can savor it with a free large coffee with a donut purchase from our friends at Airport Donuts! Check out the coupon below. 

Thanks for being here and supporting locals.  

Cheers,

This weekend, treat yourself to a warm, melt-in-your-mouth donut. If you haven’t tried Airport Donuts, now’s your chance. 

They’re making donuts from scratch every day, frying them in 100% grass-fed beef tallow, making them irresistibly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. They’re filling them with real fruit, organic ingredients, and zero artificial dyes.

Use the coupon below, go early, and enjoy a large coffee for free with purchase!
