Look what just rolled into Depot Park… our brand-new double-deck carousel! Crews have been busy setting it up, and y’all, it’s even more magical in person.

A big thank-you to Ashley Mercantile for supporting our Oktoberfest 5K/10K! 🏃‍♀️🍂

They generously donated a gift card as a door prize—but the real treasure is stopping by their shop. If your timing is right, you just might meet the hilarious and charming owner, who’s passionate about supporting local businesses and his community. He’ll share a couple of jokes, show off his alpine hat covered in pins (each with its own story), and you’ll leave the store with a huge smile on your face. 🎩✨

Ashley Mercantile is full of heirloom-quality finds—kitchen goods, candles, soaps, men’s razors, tea towels, chocolates, and more. 🕯️🍫🪒

We’re grateful for local businesses like Ashley Mercantile who give back and help keep community and family traditions running strong. 💙

👉 There’s still time to register for the race! https://runsignup.com/2025oktoberfestrace
