😄 Happy Sunday from The Meltdown! 😄

First, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who stopped in this weekend, especially all of our visitors from the Witches Craft Show at the Auditorium 💛

You all kept us busy yesterday! It was so nice seeing so many people out supporting local vendors, local businesses, and just enjoying our community. Those are the kinds of weekends that remind me why I love Barre 😊

🧀 We still have our BBQ Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese!

So if you missed it yesterday, you are not too late yet 😄

And if you are headed to the craft show today or coming back through town afterward, we would love to see you.

We are completely SOLD OUT, but don't worry. New Cake Cheesecakes will be making an appearance next week. What are they? I have no idea yet 😄
