Midwest Coffee Roasters - OPEN!

Midwest Coffee Roasters had their soft opening last weekend, and they are open!  I stopped by tonight to check them out and the place looks amazing - they've done a fantastic job with it!  They will be open all day this Thurs & Fri, starting at 8am and going until (maybe 9pm)???  Their hours are not set until their grand opening, which they're hoping is the beginning of June. 

If you don't know about Midwest Coffee Roasting Company, they are a local roaster, and have been in the process of opening up a coffee shop/retail spot in Marion on Spencer right near the Bypass.  It looks like a little white house, and if the sign in the window says OPEN, you should stop in!  They feature organic coffee & baked goods with no artificial colors/sweeteners/flavors or hydrogenated oils.  They have free Wi-Fi, and will have a moms/toddler room with a gate for moms to meet for a cup of coffee/play date.  This place is JUST what Marion needs, and I'm super excited about it.  I think when you see it you'll love it too!

Main Street Marion's First Friday Festivals - staring this week!

Have you been to these "First Friday" events in downtown Marion yet?  I've heard of them, but have yet to go to one due to either always being out of town, or just totally forgetting about them until the day after!  I'm determined to get to them this summer, starting with the first one of the season this Friday!


Main Street Marion’s First Friday - starting this Fri 5/6/1, from 6pm - 9pm in downtown Marion

Hosted by Main Street Marion, featuring live entertainment, food, children’s activities, clowns, crafts.  Join the fun at the Riverfront District.  Contact Main Street Marion for additional information at 765-662-1192.

These events last all summer long - the first Friday of every month, May through September.  They're supposed to be a lot of fun - vendors/organizations from all over the area.  Should be a fun community event - hope to see you there!
