Western is IN right now. Ye-haw!🤠

(Which is handy for me because it’s been a long time favorite.)

@birdieboutique.102 has some adorable and fun additions to their line up with lots of western themes.

Charming baseball caps, great dresses and tops, cutie earrings and so much more.

The thing about Birdie Boutique is this - you need to stop in often because it’s always changing and right now they are corralling all the western vibes. (See what I did there?)

Drop your favorite country song in the comments - just for fun!

The house was PACKED last night at @communitytaptr for Trivia Night!

I had a few issues with the speaker because there were so many folks we couldn’t get the volume to reach everyone!

And I ran out of trivia forms, but lucky for me my friend works at nearby @highsmithcpas and she miraculously made some fast copies. 

And I ran out of pencils but the Tap had spares. 

Basically, I’m saying y’all surprised me with such a high attendance!

But it was a fabulous night and so fun and you remain just the best audience around!!

See you next month - same time, same place, new trivia theme!

Have you been watching this mug challenge from @kindred_makery ?

It’s like local reality television.

The goal?
400 mugs made before April 7.

For reference, last year the team sold 475 mugs. 

Over the course of the ENTIRE year.
(Which is a whole lot of mugs!)

But this year - they want to craft 400 BEFORE April 7!

(Hannah is heading to Europe for a month, a trip that inspired a speedy season of mug production.)

Last I checked, she’s half way there!

Follow along and cheer her on!

We believe in you @kindred_makery !

Your opinion is wanted! 

The City of TR has put together a survey about our local parks and they want to know what YOU think. 

Take this survey and share it around everywhere you can. 

The more folks who let the city know their thoughts, the better the planners can give the people what the people want!

You can find the survey in our stories, on the @discovertravelersrestsc page or comment SURVEY and I’ll DM you a link.
