We used to have chocolates in this candy rack 20 years ago. Finally decided to fill it up with treats for our customers, just in time for our 28th anniversary, and Halloween🎃 We thought *we* were excited about all of the candy, but apparently someone else was even more excited!! Kade stopped by to get measured for their new Sabine but got a little distracted.... as you can see 👀 Which treat is your favorite?

Took a trip up to Racine last weekend to see our former optician and good friend Amanda Browder!! Amanda worked with the Racine community and Racine Art Museum to create and weave this work of art on the exterior of the museum!! The exterior piece, Zig Zag, is up until November 22. The interior piece, Civic Sparkle, is only on display until tomorrow. Civic Sparkle was a site-specific piece from 2018 created in Beloit... and is hanging inside the museum where you can get close and see all of the details.
