Rage City Vintage - April Newsletter, Part 1 | Helloooo Rage City Vintage Fam! | |
We are no longer assuming what season it is. We're just lucky we haven't gotten our tires changed back over yet. We hope you're staying warm and dry- we've decided to move forward with April as if we're not still buried under 3.5' of accumulating snow. We aren't bitter. Nope. We're starting seeds and gardening with the music up loud, sunglasses on, and the heat on high.
Come thaw out with us in the Rage City Drinkie Lounge! Check out our events calendar on our website to find something that tickles your fancy. We have events of all kinds, and if you think we should be hosting something we're not- let us know! These events are birthed of the desire of our community, we love to be a space you want to be!
