April Showers

April 9, 2026

As we've come to expect, the forecast for this week is heavy with April showers. Pleasant temperatures feel like a breath of fresh air, and the coziness of spring storms gives us one last season of relaxation before everything starts to bloom.
April is all about new green buds on the trees, stopping to smell the flowers, and embracing spring agriculture in our community. We've welcomed our outdoor farmer's market back to Rotary Square, and we'll have live music in the mezzanine every weekend for the rest of the month! Read through the rest of our newsletter to see what else we've got in store.
