On Saturday, January 10th, from 1:00–5:00 pm, they will be teaming up with Hometown Integrated Medicine for a feel-good pop-up you don’t want to miss—right at Double Edge! Cold weather got your hips feeling like rusted hinges? Too many long holiday parties leave your whole body tight and cranky?

The docs will have a massage chair set up for free consultations and will share how their unique, personalized approach to health care could be the right fit for you.

Bonus: The docs will have an open tab, so you could score a FREE pint while you’re here! Come see them downtown.

The world could use a little more kindness right now. ❤️ Our members and downtowners at Holmes Heating & Cooling are making us pretty proud right about now...check out their message below:

"At Holmes Heating & Cooling, we’re trying to be better—as the owner, as neighbors, and as a company.

That’s why we’re offering FREE service calls to veterans and first responders. 👩🏻‍🚒

It’s a small way to say thank you to the people who carry a lot for the rest of us. No pressure. No catch. Just respect.
Kindness spreads when we let it. Small town prices, small town care."
