THIS IDEA ALL STARTED WHEN WE SAW AN ADVERT FOR THE "TRUNK OR TREAT" HOSTED BY THE LITTLE PUB FOR THE LITTLE TYKES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THEN WE FIGURED WHY NOT THE BIG TYKES?

AFTER WE DID SOME RESEARCH IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO REALIZE WE COULD TEAM UP AND CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME CASUAL FUN.



SO HERE IS WHAT WE CAME UP WITH:

THE FIRST 100 PEOPLE WILL RECEIVE-

'A WINE OF A KIND' SHIRT - MIGHT BE SHORT SLEEVE, MIGHT BE LS, YOU NEVER KNOW & NEITHER DO WE. I OFTEN USE VARIOUS SHIRTS WE HAVE IN STOCK.

(SIZE GUARANTEE BY MIDNIGHT 10/19, AFTER THAT- WHATEVER WE HAVE)



_TWO- HALF-BOTTLES OF WINE* (ONE WHITE, ONE RED)_

_ONE POST RUN GLASS OF A LITTLE PUB BEER*_

REG FEE- $35 FOR 21 & OVER, JUST $25 FOR 20 & UNDER!

NOTE- REG FEE INCREASE ON 10/20 TO $40 AND $30 FOR 20 & UNDER



SHIRTS- MIGHT BE A LONG SLEEVE, MIGHT BE A SHORT SLEEVE. COTTON OR POLYTECH, COLOR NOT DETERMINED YET. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TARIFFS AND THE ESCALATING COSTS OF IMPORTED SHIRTS. THESE THINGS AREN'T MADE IN THE USA ANYMORE! AND THE WINDMILLS... YA GOTTA BE CAREFUL, RIGHT?

SWAG- BESIDES THE WINE, WE NEVER KNOW WHAT WE ARE GOING TO FIND ON TEMU...
