New Summer Hours

As we embrace the summer season, we want to inform you that we will not be open on Saturdays throughout July or August. Saturday openings will return in September.

Catch Us at Vine Park!

We're excited to announce that we will be at Vine Park on Friday mornings in July and August, weather permitting. It's a great opportunity for us to connect with the community in a relaxed outdoor setting. We look forward to seeing you there!

Thank you for your continued support. Have a wonderful July!

Safety Tip of the Week

Swallowing button batteries can be deadly. Even used or expired batteries can cause life-threatening injuries.

If you suspect a child has swallowed a button battery, do not wait for symptoms to develop. Seek immediate medical attention. Some health organizations say giving honey on the way to the emergency room may reduce the risk of life-threatening injury but do not delay seeking medical attention in order to obtain it.

Keep loose button batteries and household products containing them out of sight and reach of children. Carefully dispose of used batteries so that young children cannot access them.
