Just a heads up, we’re going to take a break from Thursday night trivia for a while! With the Sunset Concerts happening downtown, we’d rather support a great community event than try to compete with it.

We’re already working on a new trivia format that’s going to be a lot more interactive and fun, and we’ll be rolling that out soon. Thanks to everyone who’s come out and played with us. Keep an eye out for updates!

We’ve been kicking around the idea of doing a community yard sale at Lost Forest and the grass lot next door by Artistic Minds, and we’re curious what everyone thinks.

This wouldn’t be a vendor market. We’d like to keep our vendor markets focused on local businesses, artists, and crafters. Currently working on setting up the next market now!

Instead, we’re talking about a true yard sale where people can clean out their garages, closets, basements, and storage units and sell the stuff they no longer need.

Would you be interested in setting up a spot? Would you come shop?

If enough people are interested, we’ll put something together and make it happen. Let us know in the comments!

We're excited to support our friends at Cats of Carbondale TNR as they work toward an incredible goal for our community cats.

Cats of Carbondale has been awarded a matching grant opportunity through United Spay Alliance. If they can raise $2,000 by August, every dollar donated will be matched, turning it into $4,000 to provide much-needed spay and neuter services for local stray and feral cats. That means twice the impact for the cats who depend on these efforts.

One way you can help is by joining us here at Lost Forest Coffeehouse & Pub for Clay Cat Painting Night on June 26 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The cost is $25 per person, and all proceeds from the event will support Cats of Carbondale's matching grant campaign. Reserve your spot here: https://forms.gle/g3eRe5w6jdnFtH3e7.

They'll also be hosting a Cat-Themed Puzzle Competition in the near future, with more details coming soon. Teams will be $100, with a recommended team size of four people.

If you can't make it to an event, you can still help them reach their goal. Every donation, registration, and share brings them one step closer to unlocking the full matching grant and making an even bigger difference for Carbondale's community cats.

We're proud to partner with organizations doing meaningful work in our community. Please consider supporting Cats of Carbondale and helping double the impact of every dollar raised.
