🌟 Festival Committee Spotlight! 🌟

Meet Mary and Jarrett Ritenour, our Food and Beverage Planners on the Bloomington Street Arts Festival committee!

Mary & Jarrett help coordinate food and beverage options as well as serving delicious coffee drinks, dirty sodas, breakfast & lunch sandwiches and pastries. They provide printed marketing materials to the committee for all of us to distribute.

🎉 About Mary & Jarrett: Mary & Jarrett are the owners of West Side Perk coffee shop and Perk Up Kitchen breakfast & lunch restaurant. They have a passion for creating and serving scratch made, delicious coffee and food as well as supporting and driving our community thru events, sponsorship and being active and present in the small business community. They love forming relationships with their customers and creating a space where everyone feels welcome.

In their (sparse) spare time, they enjoy finding new coffee shops and breakfast joints, hanging out with their amazing family and spoiling their two dogs, Jax and Viking.

💬 Their festival wishes:
“Our hope for this festival is that everyone taps into their creative side (we all have one!) and tries, buys or sees something new. I hope we are able to bring a day of entertainment, art and yummy food; and I hope we all let go of any inhibitions and have FUN! Our wish is that everyone has the opportunity to make a new connection with a member of the community or support a new local business/artist they may have not known about."

👉One thing they recommend you to try this year as an attendee:
"Do we have to choose just one? Try an iced latte and a pastry from West Side Perk and Perk Up Kitchen, grab a pizza or a brat from 9Mile while you shop all the artists- don't forget the youth tent where our budding artists are displaying and selling their art. Take in some entertainment and get involved with making some art of your own at the Hot Art Bus from The Arts Creative! Last recommendation: relax, have FUN and buy awesome stuff!"

We’re so grateful for Mary and Jarrett and all the time, energy, and heart they bring to Bloomington Street Arts Festival! ❤️

Be sure to say hello to Mary & Jarrett at this year’s festival by stopping by their West Side Perk / Perk Up Kitchen stand!
