Twenty years of local love, and so much to celebrate! 💚

We had a blast reconnecting with longtime friends, past and present staff, board members, business members, and all-around local champions at our pre-20th anniversary Homecoming Party at Coast Brewing.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our story and for always showing up for local. Hearing your memories and heartfelt messages on the red phone reminded us just how much this community means to all of us. ☎️🥰

We can’t wait to keep the celebration going as we mark our big milestone in 2027! 🎉

Here’s to showing up for the kind of community we want to live in and building it together.

Thanks to @tedsbutcherblock and @salthousecatering
for the delicious bites and to our host @coastbrewing. 📸 @jbmccabe by @lowcountrylocal
