Downtown merchants, including Honeycomb Kitchen Shop, will compete in a holiday drink contest, crafting creative sips for "sippers" to taste and vote on their favorites. The merchant who wins best “sip” gets year-long bragging rights and a traveling trophy.

More than a book in a box. There are tons of book subscriptions out there, which is why Underbrush Books designed the Underbrush Book Club Box to be more. Each book comes with carefully curated questions, designed to help you with deeper reading –whether on your own or with friends and family. If you want to get back into reading and want to find a community, UBBC is a great way to find people. The club gathers on the second Monday of the month to chat and discuss thoughts and opinions of the month’s read. Don’t feel intimidated. Part of the reason UBBC sends questions with each book is to help foster discussion, and give readers a place to start.
